Buckles posted an interesting 1942 photo today of an elephant working the bally of Terrell Jacobs Animal Show. I have spent many hours watching the free shows on the midway. When I was a kid my cousin Wayne and I would start at the free show in front of the sideshow, moving to the girl show, animal show, revue, and work our way to the jam auction. Then we would go to the commercial building and watch the pictchmen selling their slicers and knifes and end up back outside watching the car coil pitch. But I have never seen an elephant out on a bally platform! Don’t you miss all the free shows?
