1940 RBBB Program #7

1940 RBBB Program-7, originally uploaded by bucklesw1. The 1940 program also ran an article on boss elephant man Walter McClain titled “Beautician to Fifty Elephants,” and which described some of the care and maintenance that McClain and his associates were required to perform on the show’s elephant herd. TO BE CONTINUED From Buckles: "MacDonald told me that when he was in quarters in the 1930's with the Ringling Show he did the feet on all 30-plus elephants by himself. He said he wanted it done right plus he enjoyed it. Knowing his work ethic it's probably true. This might be him, I'm trying to remember his tattoos."
