Description
Charlie Becker, midget trainer with Singer's Midgets, walked the smallest elephant of his troupe to Merchant's Bank, and made a deposit for Keith's Theatre. The elephant delivered the money satchel directly to the receiving teller. Singer's Midgets were a popular vaudeville group in the first half of the 20th century. Karl Becker (November 24, 1887 - December 28, 1968) billed as Charlie Becker, was a German American actor. He was 3'9" in height, and is probably best known for appearing as the Munchkinland Mayor in The Wizard of Oz (1939). Photographed by Harris & Ewing, 1924.
