I remember when the Little Russian Circus with their Dancing Bears and the Great American Circus with their Dancing Elephants - together with high wire acts, beautiful women, and carnival operators came to town. The visits were a magic time for young and old alike. Now the circus is finally breathing their last breath air. The end of an era - so very sad. Warmest Regards, Sandy :)

A travelling vaudeville show that time finally caught up with. Circus acts will live on in other venues. For example, there will always be a place for clowns in Washington

Cleverly put Sir!
Beauty on the surface masked the gritty life of the performers. I loved it as a child before I found about what it was really like for all involved. Still - they all had remarkable skills.
People have no time now for the finer things, they want something that is go, go ,go.
