This 1958 program cover bears a striking resemblance.

Looks like a Polack Bros. program with some RBBB touches.

Agreed, JIM. Mack and Peggy MacDonald's famed Polack elephant, Opal, struck poses from which this image could easily be lifted.

The Ringling show's 1958, 1959, 1960 and 1961 souvenir programs all used an "ice show" type format. It returned to its traditional 1950s' format in 1962. Under Feld ownership, the format changed again in 1969. Then, for the big 100th Anniversary Edition in 1970 the Felds unveiled the first of their large format, full color programs which, back then, gave good value for the money they cost.
