J.T. Doyle poses with two clubs set alight, a fire-juggling act that drew crowds to circuses, tent shows, and vaudeville houses in the early 1900s. The portrait dates to about 1902 and was copyrighted by J.E. Pasonault of Cando, North Dakota. Performers of this kind often used photographs like this as publicity for small-town engagements. The date and other details come from an old caption card and have not been independently verified.
