In this July 19, 1978 file photo, actor Charlton Heston is shown with Ringling Bros. and Barnum and Bailey Circus clown Prince Paul during the City of Hope's Celebrity Circus opening in Inglewood, Calif. The Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus will end “The Greatest Show on Earth” in May 2017, following a 146-year run of performances. Kenneth Feld, the chairman and CEO of Feld Entertainment, which owns the circus, told The Associated Press when the company removed the elephants from the shows in May of 2016, ticket sales declined more dramatically than expected.
