Pete Taylor 1914

Earlier today John Herriott and I were discussing Fred Dahlinger's excellent article in the current Bandwagon magazine which mentions the Jones Bros. & Wilson Circus. John said that his father ran away from home and joined this show briefly in 1914 and described what a sensation the lion act was, presented by Pete Taylor, always dressed in white, lots of action and plenty of excitement. It is generally known that this is the man Clyde Beatty fashioned himself after.
