I would like very much to have the

opportunity to catch his act as

well as the entire performance

I need to look up (or maybe some

kind soul could send) the route

Just in case anyone might care

my alltime favorite cat acts are

Clyde Beatty

Charly Baumann

Jean Charles Zerbini

Wolfgang Holzmair (w/ Pio Nock)

I'm surprised no one has mentioned Robert Baudy's tiger act.
Both my dad and I thought is was tremendous.

I agree about Robert Baudy's act. He played the Melha Shrine date for Frank Wirth in West Springfield, Mass., near where I grew up. I'd seen Beatty and Pat Anthony so it was the first European-style (non-fighting) act I ever saw. It was stylish and he had the tricks but he was never on the road for very many years.

I loved the Keller act. When I saw it it was worked by Bill Horne. A real mix and a good presentation.

When Baudy did the "stare down" with this big male tiger, they stood transfixed maybe ten seconds, then he slowly reached for his dagger and when it was half drawn from it's scabbard the tiger would return to his seat.

I only saw Baudy work once & it

wasn't his best night so I can't

really be fair but Jean Charles

had a fantastic stare down with

Royal (a tremendous neutered male)

perched on a side seat with one

of the deepest toned growls ever

Maybe the highlight of the routine
