from this Charlie Chan film

I'll run the stills another day

but this poster gave me an idea

to run a series of Circus films

There are THOUSANDS of them but

Thanks Eric

Pretty impressive that the Brasno's got a billing on the poster !
They did quite a few movies and were huge vaudeville stars !

If the Brasnos are little people

they are shown in 1 of the stills

It's especially gratifying to see the Brasnos, as true circus performers, get prominent billing on a movie poster. Most circus acts never got this. But next time you visit DeMille's GSOE, remember to look for the giant screen card titled "And These Circus Headliners", in which staffers and acts are given at least this brief moment of movie recognition. Also in the big promo book for the picture, this list appears again. So DeMille gave credit to circus folks when most of Hollywood never did.
