Performance Photo

This photo was taken on the Polack Bros. Circus in 1969. Tory in the center in a stretch position, Onyx on her right in the "T" mount, Stella in the back, Dutchess on her left in the "T" mount.

When I went over to the Polack Show with the Mitie-Mites, I also inherited Fran the elephant girl on the show. In the past when a producer insisted on me having an elephant girl most of them turned out to be a pain. They just couldn't get it through their head that the elephants were the star of the act. That was one of reasons I trained Beenie (chimp) to be my elephant girl. After all she could do a lot more than they could. As it turned out Fran was not only a great asset to the act but a wonderful person to work with.
