    Sue Lenz will know, drop her a line.
    I think Spider Austin had the comedy car, but Sue will know for sure.

  2. This is definitely Alby Austin when he was with Bertram Mills Circus.

    Alby was married to a very famous ballerina on horseback Mona Connor.

    His brother Len (Spider ) was also a first class clown, Their father was also a clown “Bandbox Austin”

    I have a photo of my father Freddy Yelding on horseback with his brother Victor Julian Ringmaster and a young Spider Austin also his father Bandbox taken in about 1935. I will E-mail it to you.
