Under the Big Top
No cinematic tricks or special effects here--it's
face-to-face real people creating live entertainment. Can a
man really survive in a cage full of lions and tigers, 
even
put his head between a
lion's teeth? Can one man
really support the weight
of seven .others on his
shoulders, or walk on stilts
three times his height? In a three-ring circus, something is
always happening: mid-air somersaults, troupes of clown
antics, dancing horses, 
including one of the last
performances of the
breathtaking Cloud Swing.
From the live band and the
gala opening parade to the
spectacular finale of the
elephants' Walking Long Mount, the circus shows why it
has remained for generations of Americans a wholesome
family entertainment without equal.
