Buster Keaton #1

Here's a post card sent to me while with Big Apple but I'm embarrassed to admit I can't put a face with the sender.

"To a wonderful performing elephant Toto who does the best dinner bell act I have ever seen and in such an old fashioned traditional style"
Anouk

Possibly the sender would the woman who presented Flora and some horse numbers on Circus Flora in its early years. I think Anouk's last name is Schmidt (maybe two T's).

That was most certainly Anouk Schmitt from Circus Flora.

Did you all know a documentary is being made aobut Flora the elephant? It is tentativley titled "One Lucky Elepahnt". I saw the trailer somewhere and it includes some lovely footage of FLora and Anouk.

Also, does anyone know where Jodie Craigmile (who worked for GeeGee) is thse days?

If this documentary turns out to be what the title indicates, I am disappointed in Mr. Balding.

Let us not forget the the present day (OK a few years back) version of this great bit, starring Bello
and Amy on the BAC and before that Ben Williams did a great bit with Ned.
