Ringling, Charles

    0.43 sec.

Ringling, Charles (1863-1926)

US circus promoter. With its three rings and large cast, the Ringlings' circus was touted as the ‘Greatest Show on Earth,’ the byword still most associated with the modern Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey Circus (which the Ringling brothers acquired 1907).

Born in McGregor, Iowa, Ringling started a vaudeville act 1882 with his brothers, John, Albert, Otto, and Alfred. The touring act eventually became a small circus and grew more popular after the purchase of an elephant 1888. With Charles as business manager, the Ringling Brothers Circus toured widely.
