Roger Smith said...: I am looking for other photos of this woman to see if she is Margaret Hauptman, who was killed in the arena before the advent of Mabel Stark. Anyone who can assist with this ID, kindly advise.

TO BOB KITTO: This comes several days later, and I apologize. Mr. Beatty had a chair for his use, of course, which is depicted on the July-August 1965 cover of BANDWAGON. One was normally kept in the Safety Cage. We had others atop 78 Cat Wagon/Sleeper, and could get all we wanted at any time with a mention to a certain fella working as the Tall Boy.

Roger Smith said...: For those returning to this shot: This actress may be Cleo Webber, prior to the advent of Mabel Stark. Certainly, we need better history and more photos to arrive at a correct ID. Ms. Webber worked an act of 3 lions called "Dancing in the Lions Den" as billed from 1917 to 1919, and would not have had tigers during Mabel's tenure on Barnes. By 1920, Ms. Webber is not listed. La Verne Venable is named with 3 lions minus the dancing theme.; 05 February, 2008 19:18
