1942 Circus Acts: "Here Comes the Circus" - CharlieDeanArchives / Archival Footage

Those circus performers do look more well fed than some I have seen these days who have found an alternative way out of Pootlers latest employment program for them.

Wonderfol❤

I am 58 years old, and I miss the circus and midway sideshows. A few midway side shows still existed in the late 1970s when I was young, most at State fairs, and I miss them. That great sideshow banner art. The clowns, working acts, (for example tattooed marvels, etc.) and "freaks" were smarter than people today; they became rich, supported themselves, and created a form of "family" being around similar people. Now it is seen for free in your local Wal-Mart. Lol.🤣

Clyde Beatty was the GOAT. I love seeing him in that cage with a dozen big cats and just dominating those dangerous predators.

الله يرحمهم كانت لياقتهم عالية ما شاء الله وعرض جميل

I have this strange feeling that once circuses stopped employing animals, it loses its value 🤔

yo that woman climbing without her legs strong asf

POOR LIONS, POOR TIGERS....What an awful life

This is so so so cool. I wish I paid more attention to history in high school cause now I’m 30 and obsessed lol

I love this vídeo!! Do you have more like it??

Post more carnival and circus videos please and keep up the great work!!!

😂😂😂😂🙏

It's so sad on how animals were abused and people used to laugh at this💔

I always wonder how the animals know what to do

"Join the circus today"

I'm going to ask my mom to take me to the circus

The gentleman in the crowd bears a resemblance to Warren Harding in my opinion. Despite that this was made in 1942 and he died in 1923.

I LOVE CLOWNS

People who worked in this era easily could have been competing gymnasts today.

Wow history am I right

👍

Come see our show to hear the worlds longest drum rolls

Imagine the vegan teacher review this and said look at what you’re doing all these poor animals

And you know most of, if not all, of the animals here were beaten and abused

My grandfather Michael Ragone was a acrobatics in Baraum Bailey circus in the 1920s. We have original pictures & journals.
He first went into it with his 2 step brothers & they called them selves the "Ferraro brothers" & later years my grandfather Separate from his brothers & became a clown & had a woman partner, that do not know her name. A little while doing that, my grandmother did not like the fact he was traveling with a young pretty woman,
So it became my grandfather Michael Ragone & my grandmother Jenne (Joann) Ragone.
I think when they where the Ferraro brothers, then had like a 30 sec. Part in the silence movie called Sally the sea saw 1925( I don't think I got the movie name right? Sorry.
This part of family history amazes me!!.
Lol, I had to edit because of so many mistakes I had! Whomever did read it & understood, now that was amazing 👏 😃

I’ve been obsessed with circus stuff lately

How come old performances looked more professional

That deep throat trick

Does anyone notice that no one is fat in this video not even the audience!

Do you mind if I use some if this footage for a music video I am working on?

Remember that when this was filmed there was a war going on but the circus kept going

A woman who likes a snake? Inconceivable! Bully show! Bully show, I say!

This was before Emit was traumatized by the fire of 44
