- Description
- Tiger trainer Mabel Stark stands by a cage containing two of her tigers. Stark is referred to as the world's first female tiger trainer. Here, she is at Shrine Auditorium for the annual Shrine Charity Circus. The Shrine Charity Circus is a 10-day event, which features an indoor show by the Polack Bros. Circus. Orphaned and underprivileged children are allowed to visit the circus as their admission is paid by affluent members of the community. The circus also travels to the children's hospital to entertain sick children who can't attend. Proceeds from the circus go to Shrine charitable activities.
