Carnival Lady

When Allen Vincent's bank collapses, he tries to get a job. All his rich friends, however, will have nothing do with him, so eventually he winds up working at a circus. There he meets Boots Malloy.

It's directed by Harold Higgins. He entered the movies in the late 1910s, working as production manager and 'technical advisor' for Cecil B. Demille. He began to direct in 1922, and distinguished himself as one of the muscular male directors. His career began decline in early 1930s, and he died in 1938, age 47.

There's a lot of shots of carnival acts in this movie, some of them, like the high dive, shot from interesting angles. It's full of good humor and, for a Poverty Row pre-code, fairly entertaining, despite the mediocre acting of its leads.
