King Bros. Circus was a traveling circus in the United States. The circus was founded by the King Brothers in 1919 and was known for its high-quality performances, elaborate shows, and animal acts.
The circus was particularly famous for its "big top" show, which featured a wide variety of acts, including trapeze artists, acrobats, clowns, and animal acts such as elephants and lions. The circus also had a strong presence in the southern United States, particularly in Texas and Oklahoma.
The King Brothers Circus went through several ownership changes and was eventually sold to another circus company. However, the name "King Bros. Circus" continued to be associated with the circus until it eventually ceased operations.
Some of the notable acts that performed in the King Bros. Circus include:
1. Acrobatic performances: The circus featured a range of acrobatic acts, including trapeze artists, aerialists, and tumblers.
2. Animal acts: The circus had a wide range of animal acts, including elephants, lions, tigers, bears, and horses.
3. Clowns: The circus featured a troupe of clowns who performed various comedic acts, including pranks, skits, and physical comedy.
4. High wire walkers: The circus featured high wire walkers who performed on thin wires suspended high above the big top.
The King Bros. Circus was a beloved institution in the United States, and its legacy continues to be celebrated by circus enthusiasts and historians today.
