Amazing. I'll have to find the details about Fred again, I'd be shocked if they didn't share a stage somewhere.

Can't prove my namesake was actually related but was a tamer killed by his own lion. Some amazing illustrations on that page 😆
Ah wow! I think Fred went into vaudeville in LA with his dog act - his mother (my gg-gma) Marie Macarte was an equestrian performer and circus owner, my g-gpa Harry was a champion tumbler, and my three great-aunts were a slack-rope act (the Sisters Macarte)! :-D
(I ask because my great-great-uncle Fred Macarthy (b. 1852), "a high wire and general circus performer who later had a performing dog and monkey act", settled in LA I believe...)
Which Irish circus performers?!?!
