An Original Vintage Unfolded Circus Poster (measures 24 3/4" x 35 3/4" [63 x 91 cm]) (Learn More) The Cole Bros. Circus was a medium-sized American circus which was founded in 1884 as W.W. Cole's New Colossal Shows by William Washington Cole. In the 1930s, the circus employed two noted animal trainers, Clyde Beatty and Allen King, both of whom traveled in their own railroad cars. Another well-known performer with the circus was Bob Strehlau (Juggles the Clown). In 1957, investors merged Beatty's show with the circus to form the Clyde Beatty - Cole Bros. Circus and the show became a major player in the circus industry for over 20 years. In the 1980s, the last surviving investor gifted the circus to Florida State University who later sold it to John W. Pugh who renamed the show back to Cole Bros. Circus. As of 2016 the show was essentially defunct, largely in response to animal rights activists advocating against the use of animals for live performances.
