Ed Weidaman with "Dorothy", "Peggy" and "Zetta".

Roger Smith said...: 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."; 06 June, 2013 17:51
Ole Whitey said...: 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.; 06 June, 2013 20:52
John Herriott said...: Zetta was tough and Dorothy was double tough and Peggy was good fat gal. johnny; 07 June, 2013 07:06
