Scope and content
Thousands lined Pacific Avenue to see the Cole Brothers Circus parade on Monday, August 23, 1937. The picturesque street parade, including these four women on horseback followed by circus wagons, passed in review shortly before noon. The circus had arrived from Seattle via train early that morning and set up on the Union Pacific grounds on the tideflats opposite the 15th Street Bridge. There two performances were held with major attractions Clyde Beatty, world famous wild animal trainer, and Western action star, Ken Maynard. (TNT 8-23-37, p. 3-article)
