Watching: After the Children's Fair in the Circus Carré, 13 September

Overview

Short film of the audience leaving the afternoon show at Circus Carré in Amsterdam. In the early years of film, shots of visitors after a performance, churchgoers after a service, or workers leaving the factory were a proven success. Often the images were shown only a few days after they had been shot. These screenings attracted many curious viewers who enjoyed looking for images of themselves, of relatives, or acquaintances.
