NOTES
FROM EUROPE by Karl-Heinz Ziethen The very first "Swedish Royal Command Circus" performed on October 13th in the old, but nice permanent building known as "Djugards-Circus". The Swedish royal couple, King Carl Gustaf and Queen Silvia, attended the performance. This was the first true circus performance in this building since Circus Schuman played its last show twenty years ago. The first "Swedish Royal Command Circus" was 00produced by Swedish State Television and Cates Bros. Inc. of the USA. The program will be broadcast in the U.S. in early 1978. The program includes superior circus acts and includes the Three Villiams with their clubs and Kris Kremo with his cigar boxes and pirouettes.
Francis Brunn is getting along well and will start performing again December 17, 1977, at the Hotel Americana in San Juan. Mike Chirrick, the son of Lottie Brunn, will open in Las Vegas on January 1, 1978 at the Circus Circus. The Circus Festival 1977, the fourth in a series held in Monte Carlo, Monaco, was taking place December 8-12, 1977, including thirty-nine acts from twenty-one countries. A juggler from Czechoslovakia name Jack Bremlov who juggles seven clubs was to perform.
I will make my first visit to the USA soon, On March 13 I will go to New York, then to San Juan, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Reno, Chicago, and maybe other American cities. I will stay in the U.S. about two months and hope to see many of my American juggler friends. |
