Iron Jaw
Posted By thecircusblog on September 14, 2013
Some time ago I wrote about my aunt Bertha and her Iron Jaw act which she learned and preformed on her father’s circus, “The J.E Henry Big Show.” In those early years she was a feathered attraction. She carried on with her act on other circuses after grandfather closed his circus show in the mid 1940’s. The interesting thing about Bertha’s iron jaw act was she had false teeth, both upper and lower…… unbelievable but true. I want to thank Mike Pilla for this photo along with the others that he sent. Mike and David are the sons of Jimmy and Dolly Conner.
