Jumbo the Trained Elephant (Library of Congress) is a film by Hans A. Spanuth from c. 1918. Spanuth specialised in filming vaudeville acts of all kinds. It has nothing whatever to do with this Mutoscope film which is of a horseless fire-engine in Wyllys Street, Hartford Connecticut by W. K. L. Dickson on 8 April 1897, one of two films of the beast. Stills of both films exist and they are practically identical; the second of the two is on youtube as Jumbo the horseless fire-engine (qv). The Hartford Times reported the eevnt no les than twice as "Biographing Jumbo" and "Fine Day".
