Dewey Trifecta. (1934-1957)



Enjoyed running a lucrative blow-off concession within the sideshow tent playing Three Card Monty with the other talent’s pitch cards. When a Calcasieu parish bull lost his shine money on a double or nothing round, Dewey earned himself two years cooling his heels before quietly returning to showbiz with the Terlingua Fabulon.




Hector/Helene. (1896-1932)




Dicephalus Siamese twin mermaids from the isle of FeeGee were considered too ostentatious for Barnum’s American Museum. Instead they toured with the Sells-Floto Circus performing a high dive act employing a washtub and the aid of a hand-crank dumb waiter.
