Biller Bros. Circus 1949 The other elephant is one of many named "Modoc". She was very ordinary but rose to fame in her final years when her owner, a West Coast guy named Helfer, had a book written that incorporated her with all the other "Modocs" including "Big Modoc" of Ringling fame. The story line included her voyage to America and a dramatic storm at sea, the worst kind of trash. |

"The worst kind of trash" is headed to the silver screen. Maybe it'll be a double feature with the Mabel Stark faux-biography?
Is this the same Swede Johnson that was later a clown on Ringling?
Yes it is.
Years ago on the Wallace Show his son Hunky used to beat me up.
