Thanks Don

Sic transit gloria Kelly-Miller Circus.

Chic Silber said...


Buddy's son played circus with it

for a few years until he got bored

PAUL is right--when the gloria transits, sic is all that's left.

One day to sell an entire circus? For Heaven's sake, to whom?

JRN II is the only winner here. His life in Ireland was awaiting all along.

Roger Smith said...

On 2nd thought, I wonder if Barbara and them might involve this stuff in an expansion of Carson & Barnes?

Chic Silber said...


It was Barbara's to begin with

She sold it off many years ago

C&B doesn't need any expansion

I can still see Harry Rawls in his fedora doing the bally when son, David, owned the show.

I thought Jim Judkins took it over from JRN II.

Chic Silber said...


I wonder how the sale went

If anybody can help us here

Bob Cline said...

Mr. Judkins did take over the show. It eventually closed and came back to the Norths. They have been offering items for sale for a few months now.

Thanks, Bob. Did not know that it went back to JRN. Judkins made it animal free. His second circus venture. KM was a charming show under David Rawls.
