At the 1893 Chicago World's Fair, sideshow barker Flo Ziegfeld turns the tables on his more successful neighbor Billings, and steals his girlfriend to boot.

@VTMCompany Hi. I' m not sure we can apply todays standards to80 years ago. Actors/ actresses then were personalities or stars rather than realistic - except fer Bette Davis+ some of the men+ even Davis was over the top+ larger than life. Luise was a great beauty+ still in films until recently+ as she was voted for by her peers+ I think we can accept that...

I' m constantly amazed that such films are uploaded here to enjoy! I know of this by checking it in a book I have titled : 'HISTORY OF THE MOVIES'. Thanks!

Luise Rainer won the Best Actress Oscar over Greta Garbo and Carole Lombard (both favs) for her oohing and ahhing...a travesty in today's acting annuals!
