This production of Cinderella starred Babette O’Deal, Mary Honri and Richard Hassett.
Photographs of other performers are also shown on page 3. This includes Clown Decar’s Circus, described in the cast list as ‘his Miniature Circus’
Close inspection of the photograph reveals this to be small performing monkeys, in costume.
The Decars’ circus act often involved animals, including a donkey named Tomato. He was ‘trained’ to waltz on his heels, be commanded to lie down, trot and then gallop around the stage.
