Silver-maned circus impresario Doris Richard "D.R." Miller died as he lived for most of his 83 years - on the road with his traveling five-ring tent circus. He'd been traveling with a circus since he was 7 years old.
Services will be held between performances at 3 p.m. Saturday, where the circus will stop in Littleton, Colo. Then, according to the showman's wishes, his body will be placed in storage until the circus closes its season and returns to Hugo in November.
Miller "had left instructions if he died during the season that he would be buried when the show got in," said Trey Key, general agent of the Hugo-based Kelly-Miller Circus, another circus that Miller co-owned and helped found.
The Carson & Barnes Circus is the biggest five-ring tent circus (or "mud circus" to many oldtimers) now in existence. D.R. and Isla Miller were the longest continuous owners of a circus in American history.
The couple owned the Carson & Barnes Circus since the 1930s. It has trouped across the country every summer for some 60 years. The Millers were inducted five years ago into the Sarasota, Fla., Circus Ring of Fame.
Circus people worldwide got their start in the Carson & Barnes show, which features elephants, horses, clowns and high-flying trapeze acts. The circus only recently converted to recorded music after decades of traveling with its own brass band.
I want to leave a lifelong impression on each child who comes to visit my circus. The warm memories of the day spent with Mom and Dad watching the mammoth tent being pulled up by the elephants; the excitement he feels when watching the lion trainer work with the big cats; the kaleidoscope of unique smells, sounds and images of the tent circus that greets each youngster when he visits the showgrounds.
Miller achieved that aim, and died on the circus lot at McCook, Nebraska, during the matinee performance of 8 September. A special service was held under the big top three days later, but the funeral has had to wait until now when the show comes off the road and returns to its home base in Hugo, Oklahoma, for him to be buried alongside his wife at Mount Olivet Cemetery.
Miller believed that the American public still yearned for the golden days of the circus, which came to town for a day only, its tents mysteriously mushrooming early one morning, to give two performances to an incredulous audience before disappearing overnight as mysteriously as it had arrived.
As a teenager, Dores was a pretty good dancer, adept at the jitterbug. At the age of 17, he met and fell in love with Isla Marie Beach, the 15- year-old daughter of a farming family, and one of 10 children. Their jitterbugging together clinched a lifelong relationship when they married at Gaylord, Kansas, and he carried her off into an uncertain life on the road. The marriage cost three dollars, but the kindly minister gave them back two as a wedding present.
When people think of the circus, they usually imagine a big show under a tent filled with action animals and amusement. Clowns, tight-rope walkers and trapeze acts are all images associated with the public spectacle.
Actually they are attempting much more: creating a total sensual environment that includes a light show, rock music, films shown on a screen, and videotapes on television screens. Borrowing from McLuhan, the theater is called Global Village.
The theater has seven television screens arranged in a semicircle. Visitors sit and lie on slabs of foam rubber thrown on the floor in front of the sets. The show consists of about two dozen videotapes shown in various sequences on different sets while films and light shows are cast on the movie screen behind them. No need to get stoned; the show does it for you.
"Global Village our video environment, reflects in its structure our concept of the medium. It is a multi-channel, multi-sensory experience of video and kinetics. Entertainment and information exchange merge... an overload is triggered and from it a refracted image of our time is created."
Most of the tapes are textually linear, but they are used in non-linear ways. A videotape of The Who singing "We Ain't Gonna Take It" is intercut on five screens with an interview about the Panthers with a black woman. The cuts back and forth are made in time with the music, and the effect is mindblowing. Instant America.
My favorite was a long interview with Abbie Hoffman of the Conspiracy Seven. Abbie gives you a feeling for just what kind of insanity is going on in Judge Hoffman's courtroom-a feeling that Tony Lukas' daily Times stories cannot hope to give. While he talks about the trial as a battle between life and death with all the symbolism of life being on the defendants' side, a tape of a beautiful young couple screwing in the woods comes on the other three screens. They move together like ballet dancers, making love the way you always knew it should be made. Is the tape pornographic? Sure, and it's great. Sometimes, John Reilly, the television man of the team, is kind enough to play the tape again at the end of the show so you can give it all the attention it deserves.
For you sex/rock freaks there are tapes of Janis Joplin singing with Big Brother and the Stones, rather Mick Jagger, singing "You Can't Always Get What You Want," which will make you hate yourself for not being in the front row of the Boston Garden last Thanksgiving. And the tapes of Woodstock may so infect you with the spirit of that great historio-cultural event as to talk with the person on the cushion next to yours.
But few people do, which is part of the show's failure as a total environment. The light kinetics on the movie screen rarely relate to what is on the televisions; so the totality can become as confusing as a five-ring circus. And people lie on their separate cushions completely isolated from each other. This is after all New York City, and it will take more than comfortable, informal surroundings and an exciting show to make strangers talk to each other.
With all its shortcomings, Global Village is still the best breakthrough in experimental television playing in New York. So do yourself a favor over intersession and make the trip down to Broome Street. But if you have to stay in Cambridge to finish that overdue paper, catch "Television and Vision" at Brandeis' Rose Art Museum, which includes a small, one-person video environment by the Global Village team. It's a trip.
Instead, he said, he wants to focus on fostering a long-lasting sense of cohesion in Michigan that sets aside the decades-long divisions between city and suburb, and between the east and west sides of the state, laying groundwork for economic and job growth across the state, better education from preschool through college, and a more efficient, fiscally sound government.
Snyder said in his speech that he didn't want to address specific, thorny issues he'd talked about this week during the policy conference, including reform of the failing Detroit Public Schools. Rather, he would like to lay out ... a loftier vision for a state that creates an environment where business can flourish, providing more jobs and a stronger economy, and where the state is focused not on providing a wide net of social services for the poor, but instead opportunity for all.
"We need to recalibrate how our government operates," Snyder said, calling the option of creating programs for every problem "an old, dated model." He said he wants the state to move toward a model that doesn't solve symptoms, but attacks root problems, making it possible for people to be successful on their own and not dependent on government.
While laying out a clear conservative vision, the Republican governor also touted the state's reinvestment in recent years in preschool programs that help children during critical developmental years. He said Michigan has spent more than any other state on improving preschool programs in the last three years.
The grand bargain struck between the State of Michigan and City of Detroit to help the financially struggling city emerge from bankruptcy was an "almost miraculous public-private partnership," presidential historian Doris Kearns Goodwin said Thursday at the Mackinac conference.
The Depression-era president struck a bargain once before with Detroit and city business leaders to fuel the arsenal of democracy during World War II that resulted in the city becoming the leading manufacturer of the tools of war: guns, tanks, aircraft engines and airplanes.
"Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt took a tour of the factories, and their first stop was Detroit," she told the crowd attending the conference sponsored by the Detroit Regional Chamber. "By the fall of 1942, the auto industry's entire capacity had been converted to the manufacture of tanks, guns, bombs. They were building three-quarters of nation's aircraft engines. There were 4,000 tanks rolling off the assembly line every month."
Eleanor Roosevelt was especially heartened by the role of women during the era and allowed only women into her news conferences, Kearns Goodwin said, forcing many editors to hire women for the first time.
Democrats have a weak bench and Republicans have a five-ring circus of overlapping candidates between moderate, establishment, Christian Conservative, tea party, Libertarian. "It's a real fight for space."
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie is definitely in trouble and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush is possibly in trouble. "It's very difficult to win the primary when most of the voters don't like you," Silver said of Christie.
