The heart story of a master showman... his trials and aches... his triumphs and glories."; based on the play by Gene Fowler & Bess Meredyth; produced by Darryl F. Zanuck; a highly fictionalized re-telling of the story of the great circus showman, P.T. Barnum, who is reported to have said "There's a sucker born every minute", but he may have appropriated it from a competitor!; near the end of his life, he merged his circus with the Bailey Circus, to for the legendary Barnum & Bailey Circus, which carried on for 146 years until closing in 2017) starring Wallace Beery (in the title role as P.T.

'Tex' Madsen (as the Cardiff Giant), and May Boley (as the Bearded Lady) NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this movie was released by 20th Century Pictures just before it merged with Fox in 1935, and because 20th Century Pictures was small, the movie was distributed by United Artists! Also note that glass slides were designed to be put in a special projector that would project the image onto a movie screen (they use exactly the same concept as 35mm slides). We have taken a digital photo of each that shows the general condition of the overall slide and holder, and we have also made a digital scan that shows the glass image well, but does not show the holder (except as a dark outline). Condition: very good to fine. The theater that used this slide wrote the days the movie was playing in the play dates section at the bottom of the glass. Otherwise, the glass slide itself is in nice condition and the cardboard holder has some minor smudges (as can be seen in our super-sized images). Learn More about condition grades
