Sarasota Rehearsals winter 1954-55



This is the picture Roger Smith refers to in the Durant book.
As they say in the Islands, "Aloha!"

I have found that most animal will look for their place of safty when frightened in a strange place. Cats to their cages, elephants to the picket line, my dogs to their dens and children to the lap of their moms or grandmas. Me to this Blog.

And maybe just a little later;
"The damned bucking camel spooked them". "Those G damned goofs on lead stock". "I dropped my hook"."Slim got run over". " you alright?" "Ya just wrenched my shoulder". "they had me between the fence". "did Blackie blow? I don't see him around". " I saw him go out the gate"." some broad fell off a horse". "Guess they caught the horse" "Bob Dover just came over and said they cancelled the elephants for spec rehearsal this afternoon and would let us know about tomorrow". "How's the Old Man?" "HE IS REALLY PISSED OFF"." I better not tell him they stepped on my foot. It hurts like hell. I can hardly walk". " F you ".
