Mrs. Rosita Yacopi writes with three young children sitting on a hay bale at the Shrine Charity Circus, Los Angeles, June 1946

Description:
Mrs. Rosita Yacopi and three young children sitting on a bale of hay and writing under a tent at the Shrine Charity Circus. The circus is an annual 10-day event held at Shrine Auditorium, 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 the sick children who can't attend. Proceeds from the circus go to Shrine charitable activities.
