This was a small family type show that my brother and I first saw at a fair in Charlotte, NC.It was owned by Tommy Leible and his family did the whole show, quite well, I might add.
Bill and I eventually book him into quite a few fairs with Little Richard's World of Mirth Shows back in the 80's. Tommy is still around playing dates on his own up in the mid-west and also a few fairs. Now He's got a couple of elephants and a small menagerie. He originally came to the U.S. from Hungary, I beleive, with the Little Man Michu on the Ringling Show.
Tom Liebel is currently playing dates with Chewy Davenport in Minneasota, Chewy is the son of Gopher Davenport, Tom also played earlier this year with John Gopher Davenport. Great showman, and elephant man.
