		Bertram Mill's Circus is fairly advertised as the "Quality Show" and is noted for the meticulous quality of its appearance and its acts.
		Today the Mills circus is run by the two sons of its founder, Bernard and Cyril, both men of first-class education, who control the circus very efficiently as back-room boys (they never appear in the ring) and maintain the standard of the "Gentleman's Circus" as it is sometimes termed.
		Bertram Mills' Circus is the only railroad show and even some of their personnel with their trailers move by road.

		Clark noted that in 1933, impresario Bertram Mills promised anyone who could capture the monster for his circus a 20,000-pound reward, which Clark reckoned would be equivalent to nearly $1.8 million today.
		Perhaps Mills dared offer such a huge sum because he knew it would never be claimed, Clark speculated.
		As early as the 6th century, a "monster" was reported in Loch Ness in northern Scotland; Saint Columba is said to have saved a man who had been attacked by a monster in 565.

		I mention this not to put everyone here to sleep, which is the usual effect of telling people what we scientists do, but because few of you realize the importance of David’s contributions to science and medicine, and because it is extremely important to get it right about who David was.
		First, David was a circus man, or perhaps I should say an anti-circus man, since he was born into and subsequently rebelled against a very wealthy family that ran the Cyril Bertram Mills Circus in the United Kingdom, the equivalent of the Ringling Brothers, Barnum and Baily Circus in the United States.
		David Mills, a beloved faculty member at Temple University School of Medicine, died at the age of 68 on Friday, February 8, 2002.

		Though coco was centuries ago the spelling of the comestible we now call cocoa, I’m sure that wasn’t in people’s minds.
		I suspect the influence of Coco the clown, well known in the Bertram Mills and Billy Smart Circuses in England at the time.
		Well although I don’t remember the ‘40s, I was a babe in arms then, I do distinctly remember them pitching their big tops on Swansea Recreation Ground in the ‘50s, so they must have toured Wales as well.

		Bertram Mills, who made a fortune from this proclivity in the general public, once said: "It takes four adults to take a child to the circus," astutely exploding the myth that circuses are children's entertainment.
		He had a juggling act and learnt to do trick riding, and in 1970, he and his wife bought a tent for pounds 60, joined forces with Brian Austen and his wife and formed the Austen Cottle Circus.
		Within four years, they were able to split from what became the Austen Brothers to form Gerry Cottle's Circus, which was as successful as Bertram Mills, Billy Smart and the Chipperfield family in previous decades.

		Pedlar's career as a clown was inspired "when he was a youngster and saw Emmet Kelly perform at London's Bertram Mills Circus." According to Pedlar, he felt "Emmet's comedy was based on a core of truth that ran through all his routines."
		Pedlar has been a clown since 1953, when he joined the "Spider Austin clown troop performing a very famous indoor circus called the 'Cirque Medano' in Paris." While this circus was in a permanent building, the show changed every three weeks.

	From the Land of Green Ghosts: A Burmese Odyssey by Pascal Khoo Thwe \| PopMatters Book Review
		When Pascal Khoo Thwe's grandmother was young, she was taken to England as part of Bertram Mills's circus "freak show." Like many members of Burma's Padaung tribe -an ethnic minority in the Shan State region-- she observed the custom of wearing a set of brass rings around her artificially elongated neck.
		In childhood, Khoo Thwe would pore over the photos from his grandmother's journey, one of which "was taken in front of the English chief's house, in a big village called London." Little did Khoo Thwe know then that he would one day find his way to this "big village".
		Many years ago a British artist had traveled with Bertram Mills's circus and cast a series of sculptures of its "performers." The author quickly realizes that he is gazing at the bronze cast of the grandmother who had made her own journey to England decades earlier.
