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

Genre: home movie

Year Published: 1928

Description: 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. *Contact for Usage* 0:00 Circus being Constructed 0:59 Circus Comes to Town 1:41 The Hula Dancers Songs: March of the Gladiators Kalaluhi's Hawaiian medley of hulas #SellsFlotoCircus #KansasCity #1928 #16mmFilm #SilentHomeMovie #VintageCircus #CircusSetup #HulaDancers #BigTop #RareFootage #HistoricFootage #TravelingCircus #CircusHistory #NostalgicScenes #RetroEntertainment #1920s #OldCircus
