Steel Arena #20



This and the next few images are from a sequence showing a woman wrestling with a tiger. Roger, can you identify who she is?

Yes. This is Laura Kenyon Roth, who along with her brother Robert, was adopted by Louis Roth, after he married Betty Kenyon on the Barnes show. Laura was far more beautiful than seen here--a striking blonde I describe as a cross between Carol Lombard and Lana Turner. But she proved a natural with animals, learning quickly and well from Roth. The tiger is Bobby, Roth's most reliable contact cat, who gave Clyde Beatty some tense moments in that Hollywood jungle pit, in THE LOST JUNGLE (1934).
