Castle included some footage of Roman Proske working his tigers in CONEY ISLAND-A NATION'S FUN-LAND released in 1940, so he did have some Proske footage on hand.
Go to YouTube for Coney Island wild animal acts to find the Proske footage. These are his tigers entering. It's less than a minute, but you see him waltzing with his big female, Judith.

Not sure this scene is from a Clyde Beatty act. Those do not look like Beatty pedestals.
vehrrry interesting....and quite possibly correct.
Right, Jimmy, Castle was not above patching in related footage when he thought it would advance the plot.
Could this be film of Roman Proske's tiger act? Pedestals look like the photos in his book.
I think those are Roman Proske's tigers???
