Ringling-Barnum 1950/ Arky Scott and "Ruth"


"Big Ruth rears up for Arky Scott. All together she has a repertoire of twenty-eight tricks which is just about as high as any circus elephant can go. She can even do a one-foot stand."

This caption is incorrect, "Kernaudi" from Hugo Schmitt's former act did the one-foot stand, the first in America, but by this time the trick was lost.
