1941 Ringling Performance #1 (From Eric Beheim)

Continuing our 70th Anniversary celebration of Ringling’s 1941 season, here is the series of TRU-VUE photos showing the performance. This first shot taken on the midway shows the sideshow front designed by Norman Bel Geddes and which proved to be as heavy and cumbersome as it looks. (Note all the men who wore coats, ties and hats to go to the circus back then .)

Hi Buckles, I'm a circus performer turned graduate student at the University of Illinois studying Animal Science. I went back to college to get my degree so that I could advocate circus rights with some substance behind it. I recently became engaged, and my fiance and I are entered in a Facebook contest to win a honeymoon. I am turning to my Circus family for some support! If you could please ask people to visit this link : http://www.facebook.com/davidsbridal?v=app_137615086304558&app_data=action%3Dcontest_view_entry%26id%3D628301 and click "Vote", it would mean the world to us! It only takes a second! Thanks so much! Jessica Kramer
