That Lion Act was fabulious and as I recall they were 11 " African Black Mained Lions " ? ( a handsome, and pristene lot ; Gary could elaborate more accurately than I . )

As I recall: "In the great cage, with his 17 Savage, Jungle, Male lions, the fearless Jewel New!"

The magic number was 15

Please correct me if I'm wrong- The lion in the upper left with his back turned was "Booger" (that's what my dad always called him)?? I think this is around the time my dad was working for Jewell...

No cat name booger, sorry.I think you mean Buddy. This photo was shot after the Circus Day Theatre was opened and before we went on the Blue show. Wasn't your Dad a clown?
