Robinson Military Elephants #2

At one point after becoming an independent act the elephants were shipped out to the Selig Zoo in Los Angeles, probably to do some movie work. I have a set of pictures of the act in a practice session while at the zoo. I like this one best showing three elephants with sleigh bells on their ankles, dancing on wooden tubs while a fourth plays a piano. My dad liked this kind of stuff but fortunately when he eventually got his own elephant act I didn't have to load and unload a piano, Anna May's tambourine was enough for me.
