After nearly 100 years of operation the final
curtain will be closing on Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus. The
"Greatest Show on Earth" was started in 1919 when the Ringling
Brothers purchased Barnum and Bailey Ltd and combined the two. Suppose you were
to make your own circus out of performers from the many big-top films over the
years, who would you pick to star?
