This image depicts the famed Renaissance Revival structure based on the Moorish Giralda Tower in Spain at Fifth & Madison Ave. in March 1912.

The Cleopatra spectacle featured 1500 performers including the African-American minstrel troop organized by James Wolfscale featuring his three sons and the rest of the musicians mounted on camels playing their instruments. The show which ran from March 23 - April 22 1912 is perhaps best remembered for the widely reported suffrage rally held by 75 women circus performers of the world’s first “Circus Suffrage Society” and notably snubbed by the socialite Suffrage Movement leaders including Harriet Stanton Blatch.

1930rif. 54026Petersburg VA: Carl J. Lauther Amusements ca. 1930. 8vo. 4 pp unpaginated. With three photo illustrations self-printed softcovers fold creases minor shelfwear slight dustsoiling still VG exemplar. First edition of this exceedingly scarce promotional pamphlet for the hermaphrodite sideshow featuring “Aileen” who was born in California in 1907 raised as a girl until puberty when only one side developed a female breast and other side developed as man and appears to have dressed primarily as a man although on occasion as a woman for his/her amusement. Later she would often appear with another “hermaphrodite” in the Lauther sideshows who appeared under the name Claude. After World War II the Lauther b. 1888 sideshows would become the staple acts for the Cetlin-Wilson Circus whose winter quarters were in Petersburg VA. Generally the “hermaphrodites” were female impersonators often with deformed genitalia such as prolonged clitoris or misshapen penis creating the illusion of a double-sex and these acts proved notably popular and profitable.
