Vaudeville Elephants #2



Adele Nelson Elephants.
"Hold On To Your Hat!"
The elephant walks past the fulcrum then takes one step backward thrusting Miss Nelson to a landing on it's back.
Note the clown elephant that did her trick just opposite of the others.
My dad told me that the ruffle had a piano wire inserted into the outer edge.

As Col. Herriott reminds us, "It's all been seen before." This may be the earliest elephant teeter-board photo I've seen, but most of us saw it again during the GGW run, and well-exemplified by Ben Williams.
