You can't have a circus without a few clowns and this one appears to have a magic act.



From the looks of it the Old Chicago International Circus had a backing band. 



I'm not sure what he is pulling out of his hat or whatever that pink thing is but maybe it is a rabbit.



My guess is this act is the "Cleo" that is listed on the program due to the sign on the magicians storage cabinet for his tricks to the right side of this photo.



High in the air above the floor of the Fairground the Old Chicago International Circus had trapeze artists and aerialists like this performer who is twirling in front of Old Chicago's Rotor ride.
