Powers Elephants #2


My Dad once told me about the time he and Highpockets worked briefly as grooms for this act during it's Vaudeville days.
It featured various themes, one scene had a Spanish motif whereas the elephant stood on a tub and struck alternating front feet with a tambourine while a portly Mme. Powers  danced around the stage in Spanish attire clicking castinets.
He later duplicated the trick but with "Anna May" doing the dance.
