Original Toronto Star caption: Stunts on Horseback by the Zapashny family were just one of the thrills in store for the audience at Maple Leaf Gardens last night when the Great Moscow Circus came to town. Spine chilling strongmen; ethereal trapeze artists; performing bears; equestrian ballets and a salute to astronauts all kept the audience on edge.
