COCO THE CLOWN: Mills Bros. Circus, 1950s



Nicolai Poliakoff's (Coco the Clown of the Bertram Mills Circus) two sons, Sasha and Michael, on the Mills Bros. Circus in America in the 1950s.

Both went back to the UK but Michael returned a few years later and was an essential part of the Ringling Alley in the 1960s.

As a life long fan of Coco, this is the ONLY photo I've seen of him where the white around his mouth is outlined in black, instead of the usual blended red into the face.

Comments, observations, discussions?
