RBBB Blue Unit 1979 #2

Anyone who has ever seen the DeMille movie knows that traditionally the show had four big production numbers, "Spec", "Aerial", "Menage" (horses) and "Finale". By this time there were three, "Opening", "Spec" and "Menage" but with elephants rather than horses. I always thought it was because of the footing on the rubber matting and the clearance on the track for carriages.
