This elephant barn was constructed

for them at the New York World's Fair

at the Continental Circus in 1963

That show had some serious talent aboard, but the fair itself could not win an audience.

The fair actully did very well

Enough so that it did a 2nd year

The configuration was forced

to have a few elements which

included the Texas Music Hall

the AquaCade & the circus on

the South side of the Long

Island Expressway which was

their deathknel as you needed

to take either the Monorail

or a bus to get across to it

But yes the show had great

talent Roger
