Memoir of an old circus era and Howard’s properties
A reminiscence recounts Marshall House and Howard owning hotels and the Alvery barn and opera house across the street. The author recalls building stages, tents, and props for a spring season, a remembered Great Inter Ocean Circus, performers like Amelia Bridges, Pratt, Ward, and an incident with a stake thrown by Sam’s boss. The piece sketches the rough business climate, a broken neck of a horse, a ring barn training scene, and a glimpse of actors in period performances.
