Wm. P. Hall Farm 1926/ "Sidney" and "Wilma"

There has been quite a bit of chatter on Circus Vern regarding the Beatty Show elephants "Sidney", "Anna May" and "Hattie" that appeared in the movie "Jumbo". Even a voice from "Elephant Free" Cole Bros. Circus which I thought was odd. The reason it took three elephants was because the script called for an elephant to carry someone and drop him into a tub of water ("Sidney" and Benny White), then another to do a dance number with top hat and cape "Anna May", etc. The picture above shows Bill Woodcock Sr. and Bernie Houston making a gig with "Sidney" and "Wilma" in 1926. I might add that these two elephants were named after Hall's daughters.
