"Diamond", "Ruth" and "Tusko" 1930.
I remember this Los Angeles lot with the Mode O Day Building in the background from the 1940's with the Cole Show. I was a big kid at 12 and worked on concessions for a candy butcher named "Iowa" (Herbert Farrington). I put up, took down and worked the #2 menagerie concession stand then at night I made the final blow-off at the midway novelty stand for Francis "Zoot Suit" O'Connell "Zooty" for short.

The Mode O"Day building is still there, though it no longer goes by that name. The show lot was between South Hill Street and Broadway and extended southward from West Washington Boulevard to West 21st Street. Everyone always referred to it as "Washington and Hill" and it hosted many many shows as well as a big Billy Graham revival.
