1. Elly Ardelty Marker
Her feats on the high trapeze have never been duplicated by a female performer. Her act was climaxed by standing on her head while the trapeze swung in a 60 foot arc with no safety net. A native of Russia she began her career as a ballet dancer with the Imperial Russian Ballet in Leningrad. She was a center-ring performer with Ringling for many years.
Erected by Friends of Elly Ardelty and the Circus Ring of Fame Foundation.
