More on Sells & Gray #2

Carmen del Molino and Anna May. Carmen rode Anna May in spec but never worked the act -- she did balancing trapeze with the best forward swing I've ever seen and also tight wire. This picture was really popular with the press because Anna May had just come off the Jumbo movie and since Sidney and Hattie were with other shows, I "forgot" to mention that there were three elephants playing "Jumbo".

I detect a little sense of humor there this morning! I don't believe the elephant was the only reason this picture was popular with the press?

Tesch's Lydia is still standing. Good god, how old would she be, certainly past working age right?

Didn't Carmen meet a newspaper man in Vermont that she later married?
