Photograph caption dated July 23, 1958 reads, "Kipper, one of three trained seals at Griffith Park Zoo, hoops it up and takes shower for admiring and envious youngsters and adults seated in background.

Shows are held each Sunday on hour beginning at 2:30 p.m."; See images #00116072 through #00116075 for all photos in this series.
