Edward Sutherland silent circus screwball comedy (produced by Al Christie; about the ringmaster of a circus, played by W.C.

Note that this movie bears no relation to the 1914 Charlie Chaplin movie of the same name, but because this movie is a "lost movie" (no known examples of it exist), it is often mistakenly described as a remake, when all the two movies have in common is the same name.

They would republish the original novel as the movie came out (or soon after), and they would put an image on the front related to the movie, and they would include several pages of images from the movie scattered in the book.
