Welcome to Buckles Blog. This site is for the discussion of Circus History all over the world.
Ed Weidaman with "Dorothy", "Peggy" and "Zetta".
Did these elephants eventuate to Hubert Castle? So far as I recall, I've heard of only one Zetta, about whom Bert Pettus quietly advised, "Zetta'll kill you."
Yes these are the same- They were with Carson and Barnes before Hubert got them. Bert worked the act for Lawrence Higgins as the "Downie Bros Elephants" at some point in there. During that period Zetta went by Sweetie if you can believe it. She was named for Arzetta Widaman, Ed's wife. Buckles had Zetta after Tarzan got rid of her. Maybe he will jump in here and finish this story for us.
Zetta was tough and Dorothy was double tough and Peggy was good fat gal. johnny
