I am sorry about the delay in posting photos. This past week I have been pretty sick with Pneumonia and had to spend time in the hospital. I am at home now on the mend now but still weak. In a few more days I will start up again. Sincerely, IVAN M. HENRY.
“Thoroughly Modern Millie”
Posted By thecircusblog on February 18, 2012
The movie “Thoroughly Modern Millie” starring Julie Andrews was shot at Universal Studios. The Ted Dewayne Teeter Board Troupe were known as the Bernini Bros in this movie. The very recognizable Ted Dewayne stands at the top of the group. From left to right Billy Snyder, Paula Bolsems who doubled for Carol Channing, then Carol Channing, Ray Saunders, Darryl Ferges and Russ Saunders. During the shooting of the teeter board scene, the song that Miss Channing sang was, “Oh do it again”.
I want to thank Darryl Ferges for this wonderful photo.

Mac & Peggy MacDonald

This elephant in Opal. I believe she was the first elephant to do the “One Leg Stand.” Opal was trained by Mac MacDonald. Mac also trained the Besielou elephants named after Bessie and Louie Stern, owners of Polack Bros Circus. In my opinion, Mac MacDonald was the finest of all the great elephant trainers.
Thank you Melia for your comment.
