The connection between the big top and menagerie. No idea what the tent at left might be. Too big for a doniker top.

And if the reply, generally on Thursday, would be "liver", I would immediately turn around ande look to see if there was an eating place close to the lot. When Napolean Reed had the cookhouse the lunch each day was A B C, [applr sauce, bolonga and cheese]. The best was "Laughing George Davis". Mills Bros. [very good] served either a nice ham steak or half a fried chicken for Sunday dinner. They had waiters for bosses and performers and Iced Tea every meal.johnny.; 14 February, 2008 21:47
