Another Elephant Trick

          A back yard photo was very important, you find that out in later years. It seems that there was never enough time to take a picture of yourself with your animals.  If it was not for the circus fan,  a visitor or a reporter from the newspaper most great photos might never been shot.  As for my act,  we only had professional shots taken thrre or four times.   It comes to my mind that Bill Biggerstaff took quite a few pictures of the chimp act for Polack Bros and to this day he is still shooting circus photos.  This is Edgar Buck with Trixie.   Later she became a Capell Bros Circus attraction.
