Description

Universal Productions is coming to Gainesville, Texas to film a semi-documentary on the Gainesville Community Circus. The amateur performers keep in shape by practicing all year long, even in their own backyards. Practicing the tight-rope walk from a lower altitude are the mother and daughter duo Diane Wimberly and Mrs. J. R. Wimberly. They are perfecting the low wire before the start of the 1947 season where they will perform high above the big top. The duo is wearing matching outfits - blouse, shorts, and a sweater.
