Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The 'flea circus' used actual trained fleas pulling miniature chariots—a dying art even in 1926.
Allen 'Farina' Hoskins was the series' first Black star and its highest-paid cast member at age four, though Hollywood later abandoned him like so many child actors.
