Scope and content
Cole Bros. Circus parades down Pacific Avenue before setting up its one-day, colossal tent show at the Union Pacific circus grounds near the 15th Street Bridge. A menagerie of animals, including 30 elephants, and 1080 people, starring 60 clowns and 400 arena performers, arrived in three long trains. World famous wild animal trainer Clyde Beatty, western film star Ken Maynard, the Aurelia troupe of bareback equestrians and the high-wire Gretona family headlined the really big show. (T. Times, 8/21/1937, p. 9).
