ART LIND: Cole Bros, Circus, circa 1940s


It looks like our photo of Otto in whiteface the other day was actually a picture of Cole Bros. alleymate Art Lind.

  1. Art Lind Jr. was a distant cousin of mine through marriage. His father Art Lind , with his brother, Gus, had a foot juggling, risley act and also an unsuported ladder act. My father Jack Le Clair worked in both acts. My mother Edna, was on the road with my dad while the Lind's (real name Lindquist, they were from Fairberry, Nebraska) got Art writing to her sister Peggy. Art and Peggy fell in love and Peggy came to Chicago to marry Art. His son Art Jr. later mattied on the the Presley Twins, Dolly and Dottie. The other twin married Bobo Barnett. Jackie Le Claire
