Al G. Barnes Circus #2

Again quite conservative, Mrs. Gardner with "Jewel" and "Ruth".

"I might add, for you Greatest Show on Earth movie buffs, that "Jewel" carried the "wreath" in her mouth, that Gloria Graham sat in during Spec, while she chatted with Lyle Bettger."

Jimmy, that would depend. Was the Buckster refering to hind leg stand's, or hind leg walk's? Wade Burck

what year was this photo taken? My neighbor growing up talked about Ruth the elephant. She and her husband managed the circus in the 30s
