Their original and eccentric performances entertained Australian audiences on the vaudeville stage and in the circus ring until well into the 1950s. Circus! The Jandaschewsky story tells this family's compelling story and traces the traditions and skills handed down through the generations. It is a tale of acrobats, clowns, musicians and dancers, of a father-and-son clowning team and two extraordinary women. Based on the Powerhouse Museum's unique collection of the family's costumes, photographs and props, this book provides a rare and personal insight into circus life and history, and enriches our understanding of contemporary clowning. /default.aspx?page=643&edition_id=2443&title_id=2368&calctitle=1 /default.aspx?page=643&edition_id=2443&title_id=2368&calctitle=1 Mon, 28 Feb 2000 00:00:00 GMT Kimberley Webber Ezra Pound was undoubtedly one of the most influential and controversial figures in twentieth century poetry.
