Recorded circus reminiscences by Kelley, attorney for the Ringling Brothers from 1907 to 1938. A 1957 interview discusses the early history of the Ringling Brothers Circus and provides histories of several museum artifacts found at Circus World Museum, Baraboo, Wisconsin. A speech, May 14, 1960, by Kelley concerns the development of the Circus World Museum, Ringling family history, circus concessionaires, and other stories. Extensive undated reminiscences, titled "Circus Memories," concern especially the Ringling winter quarters at Baraboo, circus animals, and legal cases which arose.
