The Circus Side Show
Posted By thecircusblog on March 25, 2010
Often circus side shows would travel on their own and set up wherever they could or book on to a carnival or a fair on what is called the independent midway. It was thought then that it would lower the nut for a better gross. It is almost imposable to visit one of these shows today. All but gone. This photo is of the Doc Capell circus side show. Doc is the man in the ticket box pulling out a length of tickets from the roll for this photo. 1956.
