This is a page from the 1953 Ringling Program From this angle, it's difficult to tell who the elephant might be. I have a picture of one laying dead beside the loading ramp of a railroad car and written on the back is "Manula". Indicating she may have died during arrival or departure in Havana. |

Thanks for your help, Buckles - I appreciate it! I think the bears pictures were taken the year before - Dec. '51/Jan. '52, maybe? Cheers ~ Hilary
Buckles, I've looked at the Cuba program for Dec '52/Jan '53; it lists "Los Osos De Klausser" - are these those bears? Thanks for whatever help you can provide! ~ Hilary
You are right, my sources were the 1950 RBBB American program and Route Book.
A special program in Spanish would be used in Cuba. I have one somewhere.
Klausers bears would have been a better fit for the more intimate Sports Palace.
