European circuses shaped by charm and two-pole tents
The article contrasts European circuses with American ones, praising European design, intimate audience rapport, and two center poles in round top tents. It notes compact tours, neat lighting, high quality acts, interactive clowns, and a safety driven prize ride. Advertising laws and bill posting differ, with strong emphasis on posters bearing stamps. Beer replaces lemonade at European shows, and no standard sideshows are described.
