Frederico Fellini meets Tod Browning in this crazy period photograph of a wandering troupe. Since Blockhead and friend take up two seats on the truck, they get the middle of the picture. A trick-shooter, a cootch girl, a band (of sorts) and you've got four shows a day. They were there a while, electric lights line the tent. One of a hundred such touring shows during the 1930s and I wish I could identify the players. I see ten good stories here, and one more on the dummy.
AT THE CIRCUS IN BLACK AND WHITE is a occasional feature on Dull Tool Dim Bulb. This is number 33 in the series.
