A Shrine Circus
Posted By thecircusblog on June 15, 2011
Can you recognize anyone here. Notice the sign in the back ground. How long has it been that a Coca Cola sold for 10 cents and a hot dog for 25 cents? This will help date the photo some what.
I just found out from Casey Gibbs that this is the Ft Worth Shrine Circus. The last time I bought a coke for 10 cents was 1953.

Hi Ivan, He is in the 4th row all the way to the left next to him looks like 5 of his girls and looks like a few more in the same wardrobe thru out the pic. Reading the Temble on the Shriners Fez’s it the Ft Worth Shrine date
This looks like the Ft Worth Tx Shrine date looking at the Name on the Shriner’s Fez’s. Barbette is in the 4 th row all the way to the left setting next to him looks like 5 of his girls and i see a few more of them in the same wardrobe .
Ivan,
I am not sure if dating a coke to ten cents and a hotdog to 15 cents will help you date the picture. It may be more helpful to date cokes to five cents and hotdogs to seven – you know how expensive circus concessions are!
