Continuance of Arabic wardrobe


The second man seated on "Lizzie" from the left is Cheerful Gardner and he would often wear a variation of this type wardrobe in the ring as long as he worked elephants.
It's hard to know what show this is since the Corporation swapped elephant herds and trainers the winter of 1924-25 between Hagenbeck-Wallace and John Robinson. My dad worked for Cheerful when they moved the elephants from West Baden to Peru. On the other end of the exchange was Bert Noyes and herd moving over to the Robinson Show.

Cold this morning, I suspected something yesterday when I spotted the little old lady next door, carrying in the brass monkey from the front lawn.

Love the hat on the man on the ground. The new e-mail thing makes it a lot easier to print out copy of the pictures for a dummy like me. I always have ended up with two copys of the same picture before. Also comments on Circus Vern were so great this morning.
