I had fun doing the research, even though it made me itch at times. Thank you for co-hosting the blogathon. It is a lot of work, but people have produced many good essays.

I think you'll also like my take on the Mexican remake of Chaplin's The Circus.<br />I have the impression that Professor Bosco may not be as likable as the Tramp, but this we'll unfortunately never know.<br />Thanks for joining us, Joe, it was great to have you among our guests!<br />Cheers!<br />LeLêhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02419693749682458647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7783521748442862584.post-49647769761744699072016-11-15T19:32:26.076-08:002016-11-15T19:32:26.076-08:00Hi Virginie.

I thought lots of people would write about Chaplin's The Circus, but not so many would think of Chaplin and the flea circus.

People sure did have some different ideas of entertainment. Side shows and dime museums had all sorts of interesting attractions.

Now my mind will wonder what further plans Charlie might have had for the Professor. You sure keep me thinking.Caftan Womanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05936895555808823221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7783521748442862584.post-17429165047231605362016-11-12T19:32:02.547-08:002016-11-12T19:32:02.547-08:00Hi Steve.

I found a reference to one mechanical circus still in business. I should have included it. Thanks for commenting.
