Jean Allen.

BARBARA WOODCOCK said...: This is Jean Allen, the wonderful lady that taught me to work elephants. She was so talented. I believe that is "LADY DAWN' waltz & rear horse. In 1950 I rode her for manage. She no longer did the waltz & rear. I rode her again in 1951 on "Tiger Bill's Wild West Circus & Show. The show didn't stay out very long. It couldn't make the "Nut". It went broke. It was a shame it was a fun show. The tent was the old fashioned western kind. A U shaped over the seats and opened over the center where we performed. And it was a mixture of western and circus. My mother & father, and Rex & I were on the show. I think the public just didn't know what to make of it. There was covered wagons. There were Indians that chased the wagons, camp fires. Chase for the bride, where the main cowboy caught the bride (me) and pulled her from her horse.....I Think it was 1951 and I was 17......Barbara.......; 09 November, 2013 00:50
