 HIGH, WILD AND HILARIOUS
It is one thing to be a clown, quite another to be both clown and high-wire artist. There is room for foolishness on the ground, very little on a slender thread 30 feet in the air—especially on a bicycle. Why, then, do they do it? Well, according to one clown acrobat, "You've got to be able to be funny, to laugh and make others laugh, to stay alive."

  FABULOUS FEATS OF RARELY REALIZED HORSEMANSHIP
European circuses of the early 1800's relied heavily on
horse acts—the flying trapeze had not yet been invented,
jungle beasts were rare. Things have changed in the years
since that time, but horses still provide one of the most
memorable moments in The Greatest Show on Earth.

Performers, coming here from Europe and schooled in
the traditional European one-ring show, often experience
some problems as they adjust to the three-ring circus (a Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey invention). In the "old country," they have been the center of attention, the sole
occupant of one center ring. Here, they must share the spotlight with as many as seven acts performing simultaneously. Even the gleaming Lippizaners find that quite an adjustment.

  ROMAN POST RIDING, Q AN EXCITING EQUINE EXHIBITION
This hard-charging act, a carry-over from Rome's Circus Maximus, never fails to electrify an audience. While the perfectly matched black horses gallop at breakneck speed
around the ring, their intrepid rider keeps them under absolute control — a symphony of motion.

Q A BOUQUET OF BREATHTAKING BEAUTIES
In this production number, called a "Garden in the Sky,"
three dozen gorgeous girls spin simultaneously as they
cling to perch poles which move along tracks erected under
the roof of the arena. The precision of this ballet is remarkable, and so are the lovely girls. The number is a dazzling and awesome sight, not just for its beauty, but for the
work that so obviously went into its preparation. The girls swing 30 feet off the ground. Many of them come from Circus families, and some cannot speak a word of English. Yet they perform together in flawless precision, always graceful and smiling.
