00:28Come one, come all to the greatest, the most sensational show on earth.
00:32It's big, it's new, it's different from anything you've ever seen before, folks.
00:37Hurry, hurry, hurry.
00:39Balloons, get a big red gas-filled balloon for the kiddies.
00:43Only ten cents, one-tenth of a dollar.
00:47Balloons, balloons, balloons.
00:50Help!
00:54That was our first attraction we offer you, Gamer the Glutton.
00:57He eats anything and everything.
00:59Dives, forks, bolts, horseshoes, light bulbs, nails, bottles, pipes, dishes, cups, saucers, pots, hands.
01:07That's fine, Gamer, take your bow.
01:21And over here we have Hotfoot Hogan the Firewalker.
01:24This miracle of the age man has defined science with his amazing exhibition of walking over red-hot clothes with his bare feet, folks.
01:33Bare feet, I said, that's right.
01:35He has performed this act ten times daily for the past 17 years.
01:39All right, Hotfoot.
01:40Now as a special attraction, before we go into the big top, we proudly present the one and only sensational Captain Clamber.
02:00The human cannonball, folks, who will be propelled from the mouth of a gigantic cannon at the speed in excess of 500 miles a second.
02:08Now folks, step right inside to the menagerie tent for our gigantic wild animal exhibition.
02:36No circus would be complete without a monkey cage.
02:40The circus takes every precaution to protect the monkeys from receiving food harmful to their diet.
02:45Please, lawbreaker, lawbreaker, I got him, I got him, lawbreaker, please, please, please, men!
03:06In the bird section, we show you one of our familiar feathered friends, known to every mother, folks, that blessed event king, the stork.
03:15Hello?
03:21Yes, but...
03:23Yes, but...
03:24I know, but...
03:26Yes, but...
03:27Well, I...
03:27I tried...
03:29Maybe...
03:29I tried to...
03:31But...
03:31Well, I...
03:32Well, I'll try again.
03:36That's Eddie Cantor still pestering me for a boy.
03:39Here we present the assassin of the jungle, a giant gorilla, captured in the depths of darkest Africa, a ferocious, monstrous, bone-crushing, man-eating, snarling, growling 2,000 pounds of hate and fury.
04:01How do you do?
04:03Now we go into the big top for the main performance of the afternoon.
04:10First, we proudly present the world's foremost mid-air marvels of the trapeze and their astounding and breathtaking series of sensational aerial feats, the Flying Cadenzas.
04:33Next, we have that dainty little darling in the saddle, folks, Miss Dixie Dare.
05:01And her pure-blooded Arabian Charger.
05:04This graceful little lady will attempt to pick up a handkerchief with her teeth.
05:08With her teeth, folks, while galloping at full speed.
05:11Ladies and gentlemen, I now call your attention to the center ring, where you will be entertained by Madame Trixie and Prancer, her dancey horse.
05:34And alone in this vast steel arena, folks, Captain Clyde Bender will demonstrate man's mastery over brute force
05:52by forcing his will and desires upon the flashing fangs and sweeping claws of the snarling king of the jungle.
06:00We're heading into ring number three.
06:27Today are the ponderous, lovable, hulking pachyderms, who will perform new and amazing tricks under the direction of their patient and devoted trainer, Professor Ignace Ignacevich.
06:38The professor will attempt one of his most daring and dangerous achievements, allowing this huge mastodon to place its entire 13,876 tons of crushing weight upon his head.
06:58I can't do it!

07:33This fearless daredevil will ascend the ladder to the tiny platform 5,462 feet in the air.
07:41And from the dizzy heights of this lofty perch, the Count will hurl his body through space
07:47in an attempt to dive into a small tank of water far, far below.
08:03This fearless daredevil will ascend the ladder to the tiny platform 5,462 feet in the air.
08:33Okay, Joe. Take it.
