Cowboy’s of the Circus
Posted By thecircusblog on March 25, 2009
Most of the large circuses had an after show. They had a guest star and the most popular were the cowboy heroes of the silver screen. Ken Maynard was the star of the after show of Cole Bros. Circus. Other stars like Tom Mix and Hop-along Cassidy owned their own circuses. The Cisco Kid and Leo Carreo were guest stars on many circuses. I remember working several shows with Kirby Grant known as Sky King in the television series in the 1050’s.
The history of the circus staggers the imagination. If you want to learn more about the wonderful world of the circus. subscribe to the Circus Report with Bill Biggerstaff, historical advisor, and go to all of the different circus blogs.

Hey, Ivan – I very much enjoy your site, but re. “Cowboys of the Circus”, Cary Grant was not Sky King. That was Kirby Grant. Best wishes! – — Phil
