The large area where your circus was located is also the site of the great Los Angeles Auto Show fire of 1924.

I have never heard of this disaster. The idea of those 100s of brand new cars burnt to a crisp is really sickening.
I guess tents are not a safe place for a car show. Imagine when those gasoline tanks caught fire and the probable explosions. The tires, upholstery, the oil and lubricants...a regular feu de l'ardeur!. The site must have been a raging hellish inferno.
