While in London, she married a former German army lieutenant named Fred Ferber before they came to the United States with Barnum & Bailey Circus in 1903. She performed in a double bareback act with Fred Derrick that was both artistic and acrobatic, featuring dancing, somersaulting, and Roman riding. Beginning in 1919, she presented “The Act Beautiful” that included three white horses, 60 pigeons, 30 dogs, three clowns, and 12 ballet girls. <br /><br />Fred Bradna became one of the best-known equestrian directors in circus history and a model for ringmasters to come. He created a well-balanced performance and ensured that it ran with precision, managing dozens of personalities both in and out of the ring with ease. Ella and Fred Bradna retired in 1945 after 42 years with Barnum & Bailey Circus and the merged Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus. <br /><br />📸: Ella Bradna in her dressing area with Barnum & Bailey Circus | Image ID CWi 7115 <br /><br />📸: Ella and Fred Bradna | Image ID CWi 11169 <br /><br />📸: Fred Bradna in the backyard of Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus in 1924 | Image ID CWi 11283 <br /><br />📸: Barnum & Bailey Circus lithograph featrung Ella Bradna in 1915.

It was in continuous service from 1911 to 1925, and it became part of the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey collection when John Ringling acquired the American Circus Corporation. This wagon was also featured in the 1945 War Bond Parade in New York and in the spectacle Alice in Circus Wonderland. <br /><br />This wagon was one of four historic circus wagons that made their grand return to @ <a href="https://facebook.com/191232440920542" rel="nofollow noopener">Circus World</a> earlier this month. <br /><br />See this wagon and so many more when you visit us this spring!
