Dave Hoover had a 4 male lion act on Hunt for about 2 or 3 seasons in the 1950's.

When Dave & family came onto the

Beatty show I recall Eddie Firlein

& Dennis Walker were the grooms

Eddie went on to become the 24 hour

man & Dennis then went on to run the

front door grease joint / primary

concession wagon & mentored Dave's

younger son George who took it over

for Larry Sheffield (updates please)

The Hoover's framed a short lived

L E Barnes Show (maybe in the 90s)

Dave was featured in some strange

disjointed TV special in the late

90s "Fast Cheap & Out Of Control"

Actually Chic, FAST CHEAP AND OUT OF CONTROL was a feature-length film by Errol Morris (The Thin Blue Line)...
Dennis and Eddie were the grooms at the time, then my husband, Ned Potter came along in 1968 and was Hoover's head cage man for 16 years.
