The 19th century melodrama "United by Love" was being presented on August 23, 1938, on a Works Progress Administration (WPA) travelling stage to an appreciative outdoor audience in South Park. The "Theater on Wheels," a joint enterprise of the WPA and the Metropolitan Parks Board, had presented five complete shows a week since June 13th, playing six times around a circuit of ten Tacoma parks and playgrounds. Members of the Asbury Methodist Church WPA-coached drama club on stage were, left to right, Ruth Bristow, Milo Ernst, Pat O'Conner, Georgia "George" Kisor and Cyril Hansen. More than 100 performers presented shows featuring music by the 6-piece professional WPA orchestra, singing, dancing, dramatic sketches and sound movies. They played to more than 20,000 appreciative theater goers in June and July with August audiences slightly higher. Their season ended on August 31st, retiring the only travelling theater on the Pacific Coast for the year. (T. Times 8/24/1938, pg. 16)

This daredevil is balanced on a block placed on top of the fuel tank of his motorcycle. The motorcycle, its motor racing, is balanced on two sets of rollers mounted in a specially designed platform. The "Arena of Death" was just one of the spectacular sideshows that attracted crowds to the 1937 Puyallup Fair. For a small fee, fairgoers could watch as the young stunt rider raced his motorcycle up onto and around the walls of the circular track inside the building behind him.
