When Tom Mix quit making movies, he went for his true passion, the Circus. In 1934, he became one of its greatest showmen. The Tom Mix Circus carried more than 500 performers; 150 ring-stock horses hundreds of trained wild animals and had a seating capacity of 8,000. The Tom Mix Circus was the largest motorized show on the road. There is more information about this book at the bottom of the page

I'd never have guessed how interesting this booklet would prove to be. What a fascinating glimpse it provides of 1930s America! Shows delayed by labor strife and a polio epidemic, a show rained out when a major city turned to mud, a competing circus papering over all the Mix Circus posters. I chuckled at the incident in which some of the Mix trucks followed the wrong caravan and ended up at a rival circus' venue. Thanks for presenting this unique item.

You can see much of the Mix circus in his last movie and, I think, Mickey ROONEY'S first: MY PAL, THE KING. Tapes, if not discs, exist of the movie. I had it for some years. Pretty much the whole show i performed on film.
