Text from newspaper caption: Van Nuys, Marking Anniversary Today, Proud of Its Newest Attraction - the Circus!: Usually it's a case of watering the elephant - when the circus comes to town. But here we have Florence Kroiss, left, and Marian Waddell, feeding Zero, the zebra. For your information, zebras eat hay. Incidentally, Van Nuys kids are happy - what with Ken Maynard selecting their town as headquarters for his wild west show. Circus every day! [Los Angeles Times, 22 Feb. 1936: A5]
