John Pawling Circus 1949 #4


This is Capt. Engerer's cat act, also well painted and what appears to be about a 100' bale ring top in the background.

There it is--Capt. Engerer, if this is the Pawling show. I was with Mr. Beatty in 1964, when we got word Engerer was killed by that Monte lion, at the park in South Carolina.

That Beatty-Mix show. What a grand old title.
