Orange Bros. & Moon Bros. Circus 1926


This is a related picture inasmuch as it shows the Fisher sisters Ruby and Josephine at left standing on a car while with one of the Newton family shows.
Elephants are "Jap" and "Diamond" a one-tusk male formerly with Hagenbeck-Wallace and not to be confused with "Black Diamond".

Orange Bros. & Moon Bros. Combined Circus was only out under the title for the 1926 season. The owners were William "Honest Bill" Newton, Jr. and Cly Newton.

These two properitors are listed as owners of Moon Bros. Circus 1917-18; 1925 and 1937.

The Orange Bros. Circus title was used in 1925 with William "Honest Bill" Newton, Jr. as sole owner.

In 1935, Orange Bros. Circus was under the sole ownership of John Willander.
