A picture postcard shows a zoo keeper feeding the two Asiatic elephants, Mollie and Waddy, in the Franklin Park Zoo in Boston. Another zoo keeper observes the feeding taking place in the yard of the Elephant House, which opened on January 5, 1915. These two elephants and a third, named Tony, retired as a vaudeville act and came to the zoo in May 1914.
