Jerry of the Circus is a heartwarming and delightful children's series that follows the adventures of Jerry Dugan and his dog, Rags, as they join Sam Randall's Circus after the death of Jerry's family. With a note from his father claiming that Jerry "has the circus in his blood," the young orphan and his dog quickly become members of the Randall Brothers Circus. The show is 15 minutes in length and introduces a diverse and engaging cast of characters such as Bumps the Clown, Patsy the trapeze artist, Carmen Bandini the tightrope walker, and Major Mike the self-proclaimed star attraction on the midway.

The radio series was syndicated in 1937 and presented in 130 15-minute episodes, with 128 episodes still in existence today. Jerry's adventures continued in the 1937 serial, Jerry at Fair Oaks. Among the noteworthy cast members are Lindsay McHarrie as Mr. Randall, Howard McNear as Bumps the Clown, Elvia Allman as Patsy, and Buddy Duncan as Major Mike. The show was a promotional tie-in for a book cover that was used during the late 1930s, and it has been compared to other popular 1930s-era radio programs intended for juvenile audiences, such as The Cinnamon Bear and Land of the Lost.

Performers: Lindsay McHarrie, Howard McNear, Elvia Allman, Buddy Duncan
