One of the articles in the October 1942
issue of MOVIE MAKERS MAGAZINE was CASTLES’ CREW
FILMS CIRCUS, which describes how HERE COMES THE
CIRCUS was made. Since most of
you are familiar with this film (and might even have a copy of it in your
collection) here is the complete article, illustrated with frame enlargements
from the film itself.

HERE COMES THE CIRCUS remained in the Castle catalog from 1942 to 1967 and literally hundreds of 8mm and 16mm prints still survive. (They turn up on eBay all the time.) Several years ago, the History Channel did a program on the 1944 Ringling Hartford fire. Unable to come up with any footage of a 1944 Ringling performance, the producers used footage of the 1941 Cole Bros. Circus taken from HERE COMES THE CIRCUS.
