'Barnum & Ringling, Inc.' is a 1928 'Our Gang' short silent comedy film directed by Robert F. McGowan. It was the 74th 'Our Gang' short that was released and the first to have a synchronized musical and sound-effects track. The short's title is a tongue-in-cheek reference to the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus, which closed 89 years after the short was released.
