Billy Smart's touring circus is now appearing at Southsea
Since this is a special 'once-only' performance, the Smart family has 'imported' almost all the acts just for the occasion. Two of particular interest: Wolf Bellfis and his centrifugal motor-cycle act, and the Duo Aguanito, who have a trapeze act with a difference-the trapeze is constantly shifting.
