This cage wagon has been seen here before, with a variety of paint jobs. In my Jungleland era, it was parked out back near the Slaughterhouse, and housed 15 lionesses, retired from a former Dick McGraw act. The wagon was built at the Compound in 1940, by Charles A. Bennett and Earl LeGrand, whose wife was Mabel Stark's cook. This wagon was used in many circus and jungle films, whether on camera, as we have here and in CAGED FURY, or just to house and channel cats while remaining unseen.
