What elephant is this ?

One of the Howard Suesz elephants "Mary", "Sue" or "Ruth" in 1959.

I never realized one of them did this trick. Nor that Rex used a whip. Thank you.

This act was trained by Tony Smaha Sr. who after deciding to leave the show, stayed long enough to show Rex the routine and insisted he use a whip.
Rex told me that out of courtesy he went along with it but as soon as Tony left it was quickly discarded as well as the 4th bull tub.
