This photo also appeared in Jane Beatty's juvenile book about a boy's summer on the Beatty show, DAVEY'S ADVENTURES WITH THE CLYDE BEATTY RAILROAD CIRCUS. This one was fielded by Abelard-Schumann, in 1965.

An Ohio boy, Beatty had been a member of the Cleveland Grotto for years. He wrote of the escape of his tigress, Venus, in that building.
