| Description: | JENNY Elephant stunts, performed on a stage in auditorium, but seats are empty. Two elephants in a circus perform various tricks. LS 2 elephants, front view; both lean forward and stand on their front legs. MLS one elephant stands on front legs, other just raises one front foot. MCU elephant's open mouth, with man's head beside; as elephant turns head, man moves with her as if dancing cheek to cheek. MLS elephant stands tall on hind legs; trainer at left BG holding whip. Elephant then walks backward a few steps. LS elephant balances on ball. LS elephant walks on a row of bottle-shaped things with little discs on top of them. This is pretty amazing because the discs are smaller than the elephant's feet and they are in a perfectly straight line, so she must cross her feet back and forth. Closer shot of Jenny the elephant now walking backward on these things, carefully placing her foot on the next bottle behind her. Counting trick. Man holds up sign with the number 7, then he hands a little stick to the elephant. MCU Jenny, holding the stick with her trunk, taps it on the table 7 times. MLS man holds up sign: "0". He offers Jenny the peg and she shakes her head no. | |
