Today's photos come from Jill Freedman's book CIRCUS DAYS, photos that she took on the Clyde Beatty-Cole Bros. Circus in the early 70s.
Here we see that Shorty Hinkle is equal parts Gene Kelly and Emmett Kelly as he recreates a classic scene from SINGIN' IN THE RAIN.

Shorty Hinkle was my father's brother (my uncle). Unfortunatley, I know very little about he or his wife (Billie?). Anyone having any information concerning Shorty please comment.
