Laughing or Fun Factory With Laloo, Hornmann, Mummy, Barooty, etc.
In this crystal clear image of a sideshow from somewhere around 1905-1908 we see so many things of note. First, is the very unusual horseshoe configuration of the show with banners hung in a U-shape leading to an arched entryway banner labeled "Laughing or Fun Factory." Another unusual element is the ticket box with an elevated bally stage on its roof.
