man:A location scout came and said can we make part of the movie on your farm. A year later, a circus arrived to make a movie. It was just marquis after marquis and makeup wagons and telecom tower.
I know "marquis" means "a man of high social rank" in general,
so I guess it means "actors" in this sentense.
Am I right?
Please help me with this!

in this context i agree with delprofan... i think it should be "It was just marquee after marquee and makeup wagons and telecom tower." in this context (a circus) and if it's spelled *marquee*, it means a "a large tent used esp. for outdoor gatherings".

I believe it's a misspelling of "marquee", the large sign over the main door of a theater. It's pronounced the same marquis.

No, it means 'billboards', as in the theater marquis, listing the upcoming events. I don't know if it is spelled that way, so, I'll look it up!

In this context I think it means tent.
