Un interesante western, dirigido por George Terwilliger e interpretado por John Lowell, Evangeline Russell y F. Serrano Keating, que se consideró perdido durante décadas. En 2010 apareció un copia en Nueva Zelanda, que ha sido restaurada por la National Film Preservation Foundation.

A behind-the-scenes melodrama set within the Miller Brothers’ touring 101 Ranch Wild West show.
“The backstage tale weaves in more characters, intrigues, and rescues, but the true pleasures come from watching the Wild West performers in action. Animal tamers, cowboys, Indians, the snake girl, clowns—all are there ... The scenes of setting up camp and packing for the next town play like documentary footage—as it probably is. Indeed, when a fire ravaged the company’s rail cars, the Miller Brothers started the cameras rolling and built the fire into the story.” - National Film Preservation Foundation, USA; www.filmpreservation.org/preserved-films/screening-room/the-big-show-1926; retrieved 4/03/2016.
Preserved, by Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, as part of the National Film Preservation Foundation/ New Zealand Film Archive repatriation programme of 2009- 2013.
