The depiction of the seating originated earlier, under Bailey's regime, and is more important than many might think. It was inspired by European quality and was far too heavy and cumbersome for use here. It was often the excuse given for lateness or cancellation of the parade, late shows and so on, all part of the failing management on B&B. It was quickly junked by the Ringlings.
