Photos courtesy of Aaron Neathery, recommended by Mr. Peare's great nephew, Gary Peare



Ringling Bros., around 1911. Clark (middle), McCullough (right), and Hank Peare (left). The prop table shown here was used in their most famous circus act. The "chair and table" routine would later become the foundation of C&McC's vaudeville career.



Also circa 1911. L to R, Paul, Bobby, and Hank perform the "chair and table" routine. The beginnings of Bobby's famous greasepaint eyeglasses can be seen here for the first time.
