From Dominic Yodice


Hi Buckles,
I am having trouble getting into Google to make a comment on the costume for "Extra Bonus" so I am sending it this way.
The costume in question is from the 1944 spec -"Pantos Paradise".
Several of these orange and black striped costumes were worn by the elephant empresses.
The attached photo is from the Sverre Braathen collection and is copyright by the Illinois State University - Milner Digital Collection.

Dom:

The plural of Elephant Empress is Elephant Empressi.

Try to keep up.

I guess "Bull Babes" would be way to crude and disrespectful so I won't even mention it.

It's gentlemen like Ole Whitey and Dom that keep things sage and sane.

Panto's Paradise was the Spec that featured Emmett Kelly.
