1936 Ken Maynard Circus #3


"Sally" and "Queen" leased from surplus Ringling elephants in Baldwin Park.

Following the 1934 season 11 elephants were cut from the huge 31 elephant Hagenbeck-Wallace herd (of which these two were included) and shipped out to the Barnes Quarters to do film work, maybe Eric could identify the movie.
"Tommy", "Prince", "Charlie Ed", "Joe", "Queen", "Victoria" (whom I later knew from K-M), "Topsy", "Sally", "Joyce", "Sparks Mary" and "Wallace Modoc" of later Ralph Helfer fame.

Didn't Prince kill a man during the shooting of the movie?

Buckles,
Is this Joyce one of the Ringling imports from 1923 who later went to Ed Learmont ?
