Al G. Kelly & Miller Bros. Circus, 1960

The image shows a family visiting the Al G. Kelly & Miller Bros. Circus, in March 1960. It was a popular circus, showing wild animals like lions, elephants and zebras. The circus was started in 1938 by Obert Miller and his sons, Kelly and Dory; today it is simply known as Kelly Miller Circus. It began as a small dog and pony show with the Miller family performing most of the acts. Due to the creative talents and showmanship of Obert and his sons, the small circus was very successful in it's first years. The Miller family carried a large menagerie; in the 1940s they bought their first elephant, a giraffe, polar bears, a black rhino and a hippopotamus. The Miller Family devoted their lives to their circus and managed to built it into America’s 2nd largest big top show. They introduced hundreds of new circus artists to the American public and countless innovations in circus operation. From 1984 through 2006, David Rawls, third generation circus manger directed Kelly-Miller Circus, and in 2007, John Ringling North II took over. His great uncles were the famous Ringling Brothers.

Al G. Kelly & Miller Bros. Circus, 1960

La imagen muestra algunos de los elefantes del circo de Al G. Kelly & Miller Bros., en marzo de 1960. Era un circo popular, que mostraba animales salvajes como leones, elefantes y cebras. El circo fue iniciado en 1938 por Obert Miller y sus hijos, Kelly y Dory; hoy en día se conoce simplemente como el Circo Kelly Miller. Comenzó como un pequeño espectáculo de perros y ponis con la familia Miller realizando la mayoría de los actos. Debido a los talentos creativos y al talento para el espectáculo de Obert y sus hijos, el pequeño circo tuvo mucho éxito en sus primeros años. La familia Miller llevaba una gran colección de animales salvajes; en los años 40 compraron su primer elefante, una jirafa, osos polares, un rinoceronte negro y un hipopótamo. La familia Miller dedicó sus vidas a su circo y se las arregló para convertirlo en el segundo mayor espectáculo de América. Presentaron cientos de nuevos artistas de circo al público americano e innumerables innovaciones en el funcionamiento del circo. De 1984 a 2006, David Rawls, la tercera generación de pesebres de circo dirigió el Circo Kelly-Miller, y en 2007, John Ringling North II se hizo cargo. Sus tíos abuelos eran los famosos hermanos Ringling.
