Victoria the Circus Aerialist Rises to Fame at Ringling Bros
Victoria nus, billed as La Toria, rose from a failed start to become a standout aerialist with Ringling Bros and Barnum and Bailey Circus. The 18 year old trained under La Sage Roths, enduring harsh drills and private tutelage before mastering 32 foot rope work, flips, and high wire acts. Her mother and father, former performers, supported a grueling path amid talk of meager pay and danger, while public and critics compare her to Lillian Leitzel.
