1956-57 #20


Interior of the Elephant Kraal with a Staff Meeting in progress.
Immediately behind the water tank was the pen for Walter McLain's old elephant horse "Harold".
One of the rites if initiation was being bitten by that dirty bastard if you made the mistake of resting your arm on the gate.

Is that the same water tank that is part of the early scenes of the movie GSOE?
The action has Heston passing an elephant, handler and water tank and makes some remark about how to take care of the elephant's minor ailment.

He told Robert Wilds to give her gin and ginger, and make sure the elephant got the gin.
