Barnum and Bailey Circus Brings Spectacle to Athens October 10
The Barnum and Bailey Greatest Show on Earth visits Athens on October 10 offering a world class program. Charlie the First chimpanzee performs an acrobatic bicycle act unassisted. Three new trained elephant herds from Europe play brass band tunes with a chorus of operatic girls atop their heads. The show features Jupiter the aeronaut horse, Nederweld’s monkey and dog company, and many other acts from around the world. The vast production includes over 1,200 performers, 700 horses, and unique attractions like the only American born giraffe, new parade with thousands of novelties, and a global network of offices. Daily expenses reach about $7,500 for the circus operation.
