Adding to the devilment in the Los Angeles City Recreation and Park Department's 'Traveling Circus and Kiddie Carnival' are the antics of Pinch-um Police Department cops, clowns, and bedraggled hobos. The latter species of circus character is shown above teasing one of his fellow performers with a select leaf of cabbage. The 'big-top' show is scheduled for performances at 29 municipal playgrounds this summer. Photograph dated July 30, 1954.; See images #00139123 through #00139130 for all photos in this series.
