James Bros. #3

"Anna May" and "Ellie" in the back row.
"Ellie" was later sold to D.R. Miller who in turn leased her to Royal Bros. Circus.
Unfortunately both she and her handler were electrocuted while pulling up the big top when the metal center pole touched an overhead power line.
Right now I can't remember the names of the show's owner or the handler.
