Ice show with elephant.
Popular Mechanics March 1947
"Then there's Dumbo, the two-man elephant that shambles across the ice on the skates of Ole Ericsen and Jim Hutchinson. Ericsen wears football shoulder pads to support the head and trunk and guides himself by peering through small windows in the cloth head. Hutchinson brings up the rear and sees only the ice between his feet.
Inside the elephant's head are so many strings, levers and controls that Ericsen needs a small overhead light to see what he's doing. One set of levers wiggles the huge ears, another blinks the eyes, a third lowers and raises the trunk. Dumbo picks up wire-stemmed flowers from the ice by means of a magnet in the end of his trunk. He sprays water into the air when Ericsen releases a siphon of water through the trunk, and shoots ground corn-cobs over the spectators when another control is pulled."
