I just wanted to point out the kid being held by the shoulders by the clown toward the right. I know there's a caption for them, but the one that comes to mind is just dreadful.
I can't think of a caption.I really like Alan G's captions, all would fit. I have noticed in a lot of old pictures people are not smiling for looking very happy.
I am sorry, but I could never top Alan G.'s comments'. Besides, I am still on my first morning cup of coffee. Perhaps I will try again after the caffeine hits the brain. Great idea and great old photo.
I was going to say...Welcome to our Special Funny Man Circus! I LOVE this picture, Judy....It is filled with as many stories as there are people...lol!

This photo pre-dates 1923 and was taken in an amusement park in Charleston, WV.
"Bring in the clowns" great old picture
maybe this is the picture that spawned the song
--Scary clowns of yesterday will not make fear go away.
--It was a lean year for Uncle Sam.
--Can you really call it an amusement park when even the clowns are not amused?

The day that the circus left town - without us:(
I think they've just been told they are all sacked for not smiling!
Love the one at the back with the big cigar!!
My mind is on a go slow today, so I cannot think of a caption.
Looks a lot like my class reunion.

You got a bunch in interesting and funny captions from your readers. I just think the picture is gloomy and sad.
Interesting photo. I guess, "it wasn't all good times back in the day."
Just clowning around - or not.

Why do I feel like I'm in a Stephen King movie?
This picture gave Michael Jackson the idea for his video THRILLER.
Hail, Hail, the gang's all here.
