Buckles said...: Parley Baer once told me that in the early 1950's Louie Reed presented three elephants on some California dates and their names were "Tex", "Nellie" and "Virginia".; 09 June, 2012 08:58
Ryan Easley said...: Thank you Buckles. I should have asked as well - what about Rosie ? It seems Six Bros. Circus was one of those California dates, judging by different reading sources and a picture of three young elephants on a backlot, but another publication says Rudy Mueller had his Rosie there at the same time.; 13 May, 2014 17:50
Buckles said...: No, Mueller's Rosie would have been a big elephant going back to the NY Hippodrome whereas the Reed punks would be average size at best.; 13 May, 2014 19:38
