Super Circus
Most of the first half of an episode of a fun live TV series produced in Chicago (I am under the impression that the second half no longer exists). Performers include an act with acrobats and horses, a band, and a comedic balancing act. Also included are two of the original commercials, one for Kellogg's Shredded Wheat, the other for Kellogg's Snack-Pak. At the end there's a spurious closing credits (that's how it appears on the DVD I extracted this from). I don't know the exact date, but the host mentions the June issue of TeeVee magazine, and also makes mention of the new facilities and increased signal strength of station WLWA in Atlanta, Georgia, which dates the episode to 1954. As far as I know, this footage has not previously been uploaded to IA. I'm not sure why I didn't upload it back when I first got the disc.
