EDITORS COMMENTS
- A Fascinating Sight from the 1929 Bertram W. Mills Circus at Olympia, London Step right up, ladies and gentlemen, and feast your eyes on this strange and intriguing spectacle! This photograph, taken at the renowned Bertram W. Mills Circus in London during the year 1929, introduces us to an extraordinary performer: "The Bogey Men and the Beauty Spider." The Bogey Men, a popular act during the 1920s, were known for their frightening and mysterious appearances. Dressed in grotesque costumes, they would lurk in the shadows, startling unsuspecting audience members with their sudden appearances. In this photograph, we see one of the Bogey Men, his face obscured by a menacing mask and a hooded cloak, adding to the eerie atmosphere. But the true star of this photograph is the "Beauty Spider." This fascinating creature is not what it seems - it is, in fact, a skilled performer, dressed in an elaborate spider costume. The intricate web adorning her head and the elaborate legs that extend from her body create a striking and otherworldly appearance. The combination of the Bogey Men and the Beauty Spider in this photograph encapsulates the spirit of the circus during the 1920s - a time of wonder, excitement, and the unexpected. The audience at the Bertram W. Mills Circus at Olympia, London, would have been in awe of this strange and beautiful sight. So, let us take a moment to appreciate this charming spider and the Bogey Men, who brought a touch of the unusual and weird to the world of entertainment in the 1920s. This photograph is a reminder of the enduring allure of the circus and the magic it brings to our lives.
