DOWN MEMORY LANE: FROM THE HOME MOVIES OF THE PEDRO MORALES FAMILY
Today I thought we could follow the arrows back down the road a ways with some back yard stuff, the first clip is from the Tom Packs Circus at the St Louis Public High School Stadium. We find ourselves at a Birthday Party, with lots of familliar faces, some who are still with us, & some who are not. Unfortunately even some of the youngsters in this film have gone on, but maybe this will bring back memories of happier times.

One thing I have noticed when having the opportunity to view home movies of circus backyards, is how shy the vast majority of the people being filmed are.
As entertainers I am sure they played to hundreds of thousands and maybe more during their careers. Appeared on many T.V. shows. Yet in a home movie the vast majority seem shy and awkward. To me anyway, and not knowing the individuals personally, many display a giddy nervousness when being filmed. Some even seem embarrassed. Yet when performing before packed houses, before royalty, heads of state, showfolks project an air of cool , calm, and confidence.
Thank you for sharing your backyard clips with all of us.
