BUCKLES: I'm not sure of the elephant man seen here, or the man in coveralls and straw hat in shots #11 & #13. Is one of them George Emerson?

Buckles said...

This might be Emerson here.
The chap in the other pictures looks like Johnny Cline's groom Clarabelle?
Didn't he work at the Farm for a while?

Roger Smith said...

Yes, he did. Clarabelle was before my time, so I never met him, but he was still the subject of intriguing conversations. I first met Johnny Cline on Miller-Johnson, at Governor's Hall, in Sacramento, in '68. There was no Clarabelle then, just Johnny and Milonga.

BUCKLES: IMDb credits Barlow Simpson as an "animal handler - elephant". I've never heard the name. Is more known about him? He got name credit, and Robert Wilds, who had the scene with Brad, did not.
