"Gentry Babe" flanked by Wally Ross and George Emerson during filming.
For some unknown reason, "Babe" was by far the most commonly used name for an elephant, very confusing for historians. This one started out with the Gentry Bros. Dog & Pony show around the turn of the Century hence, "Gentry Babe".

Great stuff as usual Buckles. Liked about Wally and George, both friends and some of the good guys. Wally cfould do alot of things. Even with sea animals. George Emerson was THE GUY in Hollywood for many years. Thanks again Buckles
