From Roger Smith #2

CLYDE%20BEATTY,%20Barrel%20Lion,%20LESLIE%20BROOKS0001, a photo by bucklesw1 on Flickr. CLYDE BEATTY, BARREL LION, AND STARLET LESLIE BROOKS From Roger Smith This photo, also undated, has the barrel with the lettering "BUY BONDS - FOR VICTORY", allowing us to fix the WW II era, if not the specific season. We see the wooden tunnel far in the background. The studio caption reads: "BEAUTY TAMES THE BEAST - Ferocious lion, 'Tiger,' of the Clyde Beatty Circus, becomes quite docile before the beauteous Leslie Brooks, Columbia Pictures player now being seen in COVER GIRL. Miss Brooks takes over for Clyde Beatty and displays her lion- taming talents. (Leslie Brooks #396)" COLUMBIA PICTURES Photo By CRONENWETH. Buckles: For the 2 photos of Beatty with Miss Brooks, since they were promoting her for Cover Girl, it was a 1944 picture, so this would be the season she visited for the photo-op. Just found this on IMDb. Best, and be well, Roger
