This shot ran in the program for
several years in the early 60s
It might have run with an ad for
some fancy watch like Rolex

checked the 64 book & on page 31
just above this photo was the
caption "Clyde Beatty wears two
tiger cubs...and a Rolex watch"
For the eagle-eyed, there is something of interest in this photo. He is wearing regular trousers with a street-wear belt, in place of his jodphurs and gunbelt set.
For that reason the photo was
cropped above the belt for the book
That is the reason this photo was
cropped above the belt for the book
