Home movies of the setting up of the Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus in the 1930s. To license footage from this subject, go to: http://www.travelfilmarchive.com
Fascinating!!!! Although this actually looks like footage closer to the 1930s, but it may well be from the mid-1920s. Thank you for your sharing this!
This must be from my parents home town Sarasota,FL. Years later my father was an extra in The Greatest Show on Earth (1952) which was filmed in Sarasota.
