It is possible that a few of the family may have held a very small percentage of the show. Cosetta, Remo, Ortans and Freddie toured with this circus...along with other members of the family. Howver, Pete and Norma were at the helm of the show. After the big King Bros Circus folded in 1956 (Floyd King and Arnold Maley owned....The courts in Macon, Georgia awarded the rights to the title of King Bros Circus to Vicki Kernan King (Mrs. Floyd King). The so called Little Cristianis headed up by Benny Cristian aka Benny Fornarasi, Cosetta and Remo, Chita and Tripoli and maybe Ortans and Freddie Caneestrelli leased the title "King Bros Circus" from Mrs. King. This show toured for two Season 1958 and 1959......The first year was highly successful...Believe this was the time period when Floyd King was booking towns, for Beatty Show, Sells and Gray and King Bros Circus. I always found it interesting that after such a bitter breakup in 1953....that part of the family came back and leased the title.......I was at Fort Gordon, Ga and saw the United Nations show in Augusta....The partnership may have been with Bartok.....Charles Hansonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12236421018132978620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8897242.post-73790124799391862582018-07-12T17:26:58.561-04:002018-07-12T17:26:58.561-04:00Wasn't the following title

This is where the Cristiani Family ended up for 1954 Season. Supposedly, part of the allure for the Cristiani Family was touring without the daily struggle of putting up the big top. From my understanding, it was a partnership. but a lot of dissatisfaction ....Not like the highly lucrative King-Cristiani partnership .....Charles Hansonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12236421018132978620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8897242.post-17959273454052198632018-07-12T12:49:16.675-04:002018-07-12T12:49:16.675-04:00
