Elephant act presented by Patricia Chambers and Frank Dailey.

Anonymous said...: pat was only in the act for part of the season. when paul and chris hudson joined the show chris went into the elephant act. since i was always about a week ahead of the show, i'm not sure when that happened. by the time the season ended, the performance was almost completely different, and the addition of the riding santiagos made it very impressive, particularly in the small towns we played. wayne and marge newman had left with their two bears but phyllis (wayne's daughter) and her husband kenny stayed with their two bears and they also worked ponies and horses that wayne had broken.; 19 December, 2007 12:09
