Description: Photo caption reads: "Doing a 'big' job, Long Beach firemen are shown washing elephants of the Al G. Barnes and Sells Floto combined circus when it visited the beach city over the week-end. The fire department was called into wash the circus' five herds of elephants so the huge beasts would be spotlessly clean for the show's three-day run in Hollywood. The circus now is playing at the Wilshire and Fairfax lot." Photo dated: April 5, 1937.
