WALL OF DEATH!
Carnival Attraction at Revere Beach, Mass. 1929.

Philip Astley said...: There was an English wall of death rider called Tornado Smith he had a lion in the side car on the wall of death during the '40s. Jack Smith trained the lion for him. The lion used to parade on the front of the show with Tornado. Jack Smith was no relation. Of course his son, Emile, works for me to this day.

Bob Momyer said...: I remember, as a litlle kid, seeing a lion riding in a side car in an attraction on the boardwalk in New Jersey. I think it was at Wildwood. This would have been in the late '40's
