Chic Silber said...: Does anyone recall what years the

diamonds in the ring curbs had the

lights working (it must have been

before I was involved in the show)

There were only segments of wiring

& sockets remaining late 60s; 21 July, 2010 10:00
Mike Naughton said...: Elephant Fandango; I remember it well. Exotic showgirls with tambourines; the stuff that puts the icing on the cake.
Would this be Don Foote's first elephant number?; 21 July, 2010 10:59

jerry digney said...: a terrific elephant act-Hugo's act really moved...and was full of superb behaviors--front leg, back leg maneuvers, all the great formations--(and of course they opened this edition, the 100th anniv., with a long mount on the front track that was the fantastic, wow-like finale to the toe tapping opening number)---the act ran the whole gamut (tricks you rarely see any more), at a fast tempo, which is the best way to see an elephant act...today's acts seem slow and somewhat tedious in comparison. as a teen traveling with the show that summer and working the seats i got to see the act every day...consistently great--Hugo really knew his stuff...Fred Logan's acts also worked at lightning speed which was great to watch.; 22 July, 2010 00:17
