Additional Information
Earl Rogers as the Snake Charmer from the 1926 May Fete. Sitting on a stump near the English Coulee Rogers extends a snake into the air. The May Fete was a modest production from 1909-1916 until Nell Martindale took over as head and expanded the small show into a spectacular dance-drama. From 1917 to 1927, May Fete saw elaborate sets and as many as 500 performers. The last May Fete was in 1927 when Martindale resigned to be married.
