Trainer Floyd Smith with the first St. Louis Zoo elephant act. From their size and number, there were eventually five, this photo was taken about 1939. The location is now the yard for grevy zebras. If visitors look closely they can find a small rectangular hole cut into one of the gunite boulders where the show announcer could peek out to narrate the show.
