Harry Ross & His Dog Pal

thecircusblog | September 5, 2008

Harry began working in vaudeville with a hand balancing chair and table act. It wasn’t until later that he started doing the same act only as a clown. He created alot of comedy in this act….people loved him. For those who knew him, his favorite expression was “you believe that, don’t cha?”……..May God bless Rossie.
