From Melina Carty

"Ms Carty is quite a fan of the Power family and their elephants. She has sent me considerable material the past few years particularly regarding their long say in England with Bertram Mills.
The elephants names were "Lena", "Jennie", "Roxie" and "Julia" and one would assume the latter was named after Ms Power.
This act originated with the Walter L. Main Circus."

1941 Ringling Performance #1 (From Eric Beheim)

Continuing our 70th Anniversary celebration of Ringling’s 1941 season, here is the series of TRU-VUE photos showing the performance. This first shot taken on the midway shows the sideshow front designed by Norman Bel Geddes and which proved to be as heavy and cumbersome as it looks. (Note all the men who wore coats, ties and hats to go to the circus back then .)

A nice view of one of the show’s air conditioning units. (Do any of these still survive?)
