4 Devils
The circus provides the backdrop for this melodrama that chronicles the lives of four children raised within the big top. Film historian and collector William K.

In the December 1974 issue of "Films in Review," he explained that Mary Duncan, one of the film's stars, wanted it to show to a group of friends in Florida. The star was aware that it was a dangerous nitrate print and assumed that Fox had others.
