Description

The Moslah Shrine Circus season is opening Saturday afternoon at Will Rogers Memorial Coliseum in Fort Worth, Texas. Laughter is rolling from "Section C" as clown Charlie De Melo made his way into the audience. He is shown in the middle of seventy-nine children from the Tarrant County Children's Home. Anita Hutchins is the young girl sitting on his knee. The children are attending the circus as guests of the Cosmopolitan Club.
