  • SummaryThree views, in different sizes, sharing the same caption: "The circus is in town--The 'Marionette Circus,' that is, which began its tour of Brooklyn with a showing at the War Memorial Recreation Center in Cadman Plaza yesterday afternoon. Despite the brisk weather, it was well attended, as attested to by the attentiveness of (0071) Robert Bantanez, 3, and his cousin, Joey Lopez, 7, of 192 Fulton St., and by (0072) George Bermudez, 9, of 75 Henry St., and Jean Silva, 5, of 75 Poplar St. This free Park Department attraction will appear next Monday at Public School 222, Quentin Road and E. 34th St. at 10 a.m.and 1:30 p.m." 0073 shows a group of seven children, all back to camera, looking at the marionette show.
