Robert and Doris Earl began their circus careers as aerialist, the duo performed at circuses, fairs and amusement parks. In 1964 the couple took out the "Robert G. Earl Circus" with Doris as the featured aerialist. The show was a mild success and was only on the road for two seasons, 1965-1965. There is very little in or mat ion is available on this show.

For the next few years Robert and Doris worked on various shows, Robert as a show electrician and Doris as an aerialist then later in ticket sales. In 1974 they once again opened a show the "Roberts Bros. Circus", the new show was bit larger and with better equipment than on the Earl's first circus. The Roberts Bros became a beautiful small family show. Family, not only included the Earls Robert, Doris their two sons Bobby and Jeff, but the entire show became family to Robert and Doris.

We had an enthusiastic audience who were thrilled to attend this Premiere. Here is one particularly articulate response to your film which I have just received, from Ian McPherson!

"Chris Menges' film, which I had never heard of, was astonishingly good. I don't know why it isn't talked of in the canon of great British documentaries from Grierson to Jennings, Ken Loach and so on. The photography is worthy of any the great photographers, such as Bill Brandt who Chris also mentioned in his remarks. There is a wonderful non-judgemental sympathy with the circus folk which suffuses the film with great warmth and eloquence - giving a voice to people who seldom had one. The passage of time has only magnified its importance, documenting ways of life which have largely vanished, and we should be profoundly grateful that people like Chris did so, and with such skill and poetry. The 'mundane' moments - on the scooter, in the laundrette, playing football, watching tv, in the alleyways of caravans, the girls and their ponies - captured something about people long before the self-consciousness of the digital era which is priceless now, and so very poignant."
