I am looking for information on Carl "Karland" Frischkorn (1887-1954).
The GENII MagicPedia has this information:

Dr. Carl S. "Karland ' Frischkorn (1887-1954) owned the Karland 3-Ring Circus in Virginia Beach, Virginia for many years.

Frischkorn became interested in magic in 1902.

He helped start Norfolk's first organized magical fraternity the "Blackstone Ring 1" in 1943.

Just a few days before his death he was voted an honorary lifetime member of Ring 103.

I.B.M. Ring 103 in Norfolk was named in (his) honor in 1954 (then renamed the "Earl Edwards Ring" in 1972.

The Ring's newsletter Fresh Korn From Frischkorn ran for four issues in 1960 until editor George Lyon moved from this area.

The April 1945 issue of _The Conjuror's Magazine_ mentions that Doc Frischkorn bought the Kellar Spirit Cabinet from Hardeen.

I found an eBay listing for a Karland's 3-Ring Magic Circus poster:

Sonny!

Some years ago, I had a Frischkorn Circus handbill. It was printed on orange newsprint, about 24" tall by about 20" across. It had "standard" circus artwork.

When the Christianis brought back the Circus Parade (in 1952 or '53) they bought Doc's Calliope. They paraded down Granby Street.

For a gag, he would sometimes hitch up his elephant to a plow on his farm. IT STOPPED TRAFFIC!

I was President of the Blackstone Ring in the early '50s.

The velvet cape that I sent you, a few years ago, was used by Doc when he did the Kellar wrist tie. He presented an old fashioned political "STUMP SPEECH" which was hilariously funny. He was an active SHRINER.

When he died, the line at the Funeral Home "stretched" around the block.
