I believe the Rays were on Russell Bros when the girls were young. Would this pic be from that period?

That sounds about right, they were on the show in 1939.
Barbara mentioned how nice Pauline Webb was.
She added that the size of the living quarters for Mrs. Webb's chimp exceeded the tiny trailer the
Ray family squeezed into.

Elsie Kitzman told me at one time Mrs Ray and the girls slept in the trailer and Rube and the son slept under it. That's how small it was.

Also per Elsie, Topsy the chimp once went to the hospital (one for people) and got a bed and room of her own !!! All this at Pauline's request, of course. Sounds funny but Elsie swore to it.
