Stock Photo - 1972 - Mary's circus is back in town: Chipperfields for millions synonymous with Circus, but Mary Chipperfields Circus is quite distinct and seperate from her uncle Dick's circus-the one that most of us associate the name with. The confusion has in fact led to a serious family rift, and Mary and to suspend circus activities two year ago, but now she is back again-the call of the Ring is irrestiable to a Chipperfield! The circus- a spectacular show featuring over 50 animals and about 40 artistes, including clowns, trapeze acts, etc. is now in full swing on Clapham Common, there will be 2 shows daily until November 23rd. Mary herself stars in the show, she is the only lady wild animal trainer, and circus owner in the worldm and she can be seen exercising her amazing command over the wildest most dangerous animals of ll, the lions, leopards, and tigers. Mary's husband Roger Cawley, runs all the administrative side of teh circys, and both Mary and Roger run Lord Bath's Safari Park (where thelions roan at will) at Longleat. Their daugher Sizanne, aged 4 adores the circus, and spends all her time there, but David, aged 8 has to go school! (Credit Image: © Keystone Pictures USA/ZUMAPRESS.com)
