A single scene this is not. It is a set of newspaper advertisements cut out and grouped together, promoting four unrelated attractions: a Barnum & Bailey circus, an aviation meet, a baseball game, and a Durbar. Clippings like these show how crowded the entertainment pages of the early twentieth century were, with circuses, flying exhibitions and sporting events competing for the same readers' attention. The Durbar most likely refers to the 1911 Delhi Durbar, the ceremony proclaiming King George V emperor of India, which drew wide press coverage in the United States as well as Britain.
