Clyde Beatty #1 (From Dion)

Greetings Buckles
I just scanned these photos. The prints were made in the early 50's in Northern Wisconsin. As I understand it, one can never see too many photos of the master showman. Sincerely, Dion

FANFARE, " In the steel bound arena presenting the world's largest group of African Black Maned Nubian Lions and Rotal Bengal Tigers together in one assembly, Trained and now presented by the greatest wild animal subjagator of all time and just recently featured in the Wayne Fellows, Warner Brothers production the RING OF FEAR. In the DEN OF FURY the One and Only, CLYDE BEATTY".

From Eric:

Col. Herriott,

If I'm not mistaken, you used a very similar announcement to introduce Jon Zerbini (in his pre-Tarzan days) on the 1962 Mills Bros. Circus.

I note the Gun Boy was lazy at the time. He didn't get the white shoe polish from the whip box, as Mr. Beatty is carrying a tan helmet yet to be converted.
