This is the 1945 Beatty sideshow. Beatty had bought the Wallace show and operated it only the one year. He then sold it to Floyd King who was getting back in the ownership line and for 1946 Beatty went with Art Concello's Clyde Beatty Railroad Circus. At the end of 1846 he bought that show.

Oops- I don't think Clyde was with us in 1846.

Dave, don't feel bad,you only got him mixed up with Isaac Van Amburgh who just returned from Europe and was touring on a show that year (1846) that carried his name for the first time. Unlike Beatty beginning in 1946, Van Amburgh never owned the show. Dates, names, what the heck!

Dick- You must be up and around. I hope you keep improving.

My stroke left me having to walk with a cane (after rehab) but I do fairly well. "Deef" as a post when I don't wear my things and forget names and such but still making it a day at a (how does that go?).
