Bailey Circus
Bailey Circus was started by James Anthony Bailey initially, but after the merger of P.T Barnum Circus and Ringling Brothers Circus, it became Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus. All of these three circuses have been operating under one roof ever since Ringling Bros. Circus bought Barnum & Bailey circus in 1907. Even after the purchase, all three circuses kept on operating as separate entities until their final merger in 1919. Originally, the circus made use of the tradition temporary tents for the circus, but that tradition was changed back in 1957 when John Ringling North started using venues and stadiums for the circus.
Ringling Bros. Circus was founded back in 1884. Around that time, Barnum & Bailey Circus was already in full swing, and was enjoying huge amounts of national popularity. Ringling Bros. Circus initially started on a smaller scale, and soon they started touring in various towns on their animal driven carts. As their word spread pretty fast, they started attracting more and more people to their shows and started covering much more ground. As the popularity of Barnum & Bailey Circus was a lot more than Ringling Bros. Circus, Bailey Circus even took their show to European market. However after the death of Bailey in 1905, Ringling Bros. purchased Barnum and Bailey Circus.
Barnum & Bailey Circus became a part of the Ringling Bros. Circus in 1907. However all two of these shows kept on going like two separate shows until their official merger in 1919, after which it became one show. Both the shows were combined to operate as one because it became a bit hard to keep on operating the two shows separately. After the merger, Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus premiered with its first performance in New York on March 29, 1919. The show’s popularity and fan base grew even more during the 1920s and it flourished well. The circus grew even more bigger after one of the Ringling Brothers purchased the American Circus Corporation. With the purchase of American Circus Corporation, Ringling Bros. Circus also managed to bring in other major shows like Sparks Circus, John Robinson Circus, Sells Floto Circus, AI G. Barnes Circus and Hagenbeck Wallace Circus.
To attract even much larger chunk of audience, the circus made an attractive offer to Frank Buck in 1938, who was asked to make an appearance on an elephant. For that, Buck was asked to join the American Federation of Actors, but he refused to do so. He later accepted the offer to appear on an elephant to introduce Gargantua the Gorilla. But he did so on one condition that he won’t join the American Federation of Actors.
Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus had a major slump during the years of the Great Depression. This was back in 1930s, but the circus still managed to stay in operation. During these difficult times, John Ringling North took charge of the circus and managed the show for coming decades. To help cope with the great slump in the number of audience members that the circus faced, the circus was awarded with an allowance by the President Roosevelt along with the freedom of using the rails while the World War II was in full swing.
From 1957 onwards, the circus started to being held inside the indoor venues except for the traditional tents. Almost after a decade, in 1967, the Ringling family’s interests in the circus were bought by Irvin and Israel Feld along with the support of Richard C. Blum. After the ownership changed hands, Feld brothers stepped in to make some new profitable changes to the show.
Presently Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus enjoys the reputation of the being one of the most popular circus shows in the country. Every years its performances are witnessed by thousands of fans, and if you haven’t been one of them due to some reason, then our Ringling Bros. and Barnum &
