The Biggest Show on Earth is a surviving 1918 American silent drama film directed by Jerome Storm and written by Julien Josephson and Florence Vincent.

The film stars Enid Bennett, Bliss Chevalier, Ethel Lynne, Melbourne MacDowell, Jack Nelson, and Earle Rodney.

[1][2][3] As described in a film magazine,[4] Roxie Kemp (Bennett), a lion tamer in her father's circus, is sent to boarding school.

Marjorie Trent (Lynne), with a long line of ancestors, invites her to her home for the holiday season.

However, Col. Jeffrey Trent (Stockdale) tells her that their income comes from the circus, so the young couple are allowed to continue their courtship.
