Scenes from a vintage circus preserved on film

2021-09-20 00:00:00

Circus Day In Our Town (1949) is an old black-and-white 15-minute film presenting footage from a 1949 circus.

The film shows clowns putting on their makeup, folks walking around the fairgrounds, many beautiful costumes, and various acrobatic circus acts. I'm thankful that these circus performance scenes are preserved on film, as they are from a fascinating yet controversial subculture of the past.
