Philippines Carnival Midway With Maxine-Mina Show
Philippines carnival midway, most likely part of the annual Manila Carnival and Commercial and Industrial Fair, which was held from 1908 to 1939. The huge "International Cold Stores/Hot Roast Beef" concession sits next to a single-o show with banners advertising the "three-legged woman." This performer was Maxine-Mina, a Philippino who performed widely in the late-teens and early 1920s in the United States. Given that the performer is shown as a young woman, this card may be from the late 1930s.
