[Circus Comes to Town! 1928 Sells-Floto Circus, Kansas City]

Short silent home movie of the Sells-Floto circus in Kansas City in 1928. These clips came from two reels from separate unrelated people who shot the same event, Lawrence Moxie Hanley and Thomas Paul Humphrey. I believe it was located at 17th & Pennsylvania Ave.

First portion of the film shows the circus being setup, canvas being unrolled stakes driven in etc; the second shows around the circus while it's active and a segment focused on the hula dancers.
