At the urging of Mr. Mike Naughton of the Yankee Doodle Circus here is the Tony Alexis Family as seen of Circus Benneweis in 2002.

Does anyone know if there is any video of the act circulating?

The wig reminds me of a world-famous Dutch clown, musician, historian and collector.

Pardon me, Raffaele, but isn't the noted clown, musician, historian and collector to whom you refer actually Belgian?
I'm not at all certain, but I'd question that this is from 2002. I'm judging by the little guy in the middle - and I don't recall Tony working with such a gentleman of limited stature.

the little guy in the middle is tony alexis jr. jungest son of the tony alexis family.
well 2002 he was 10 years old. ain't it normal that a 10 year old boy is a little tiny?
and I have to denie if somebody says that his stature is limited.
now he is 16 years old, working as whiteface and already the tallest member of the group.

his brother totti (26) got cutten out of this picture. if you look right there is a third trumpet on it. well thats him. he's working solo now and got quite famous in europe. I saw him at the circus festival of Grenoble in france, and you know what? this solo-clown kickt the rossyans out of the festival and sincerely... he even got more success than peter shub.

and his little brother is on the best way to follow his steps.

I wish there was more jung clowns like them in europe...
