Rhoda Royal Circus 1920/ "Victor" and "Helen"


My dad would often talk about the four young elephants with his first circus the Rhoda Royal Show. It wasn't until later and he had been around others that he realized how well trained they were.
Here we see "Victor" and "Helen" pulling a "gilly wagon" . A puzzling picture since this is the type vehicle used with 2-car shows that could be taken apart and reassembled to move the show back and forth to the lot.
