Sparks Circus 1915


This is the Sparks Show midway during a Side Show bally. I see a double banner for the Minstrel Show and a pretty good spread of canvas in the background. I love the hats on those ladies, right out of an MGM musical. By this time (1915) they had five elephants being handled by Louie Reed. Sparks had purchased two young males from Wm. P. Hall "Ollie" and "Mutt" and more recently, two from the defunct Cole Bros. Circus (Al G. Campbell) "Topsy" and "Queen". Buckles
