From Buckles #1

As I have mentioned often, the significance Anna May Wong's
pictures stem from my dad's early days at Hall's Farm when
he was a great admirer of Miss Wong's silent movies.
He went so far as to talk Hall into naming one of a group of
young elephants imported in 1925 in her honor.
Here they are together in 1943 with the Wallace Bros.- Clyde
Beatty Circus.

many of us were in awe of
