"Introducing the greatest Liberty act in circus history...easily the greatest display of all time." The announcer goes on like this and the circus fans watch tensely as the trained horses, with plumes flying, go through their act under the guidance of Jorgensen M. Christiansen. With wild superlatives the acts are announced, and with wild cheers the audiences greet them. Photo dated September 21, 1937.
