I remember seeing the Klauser Bears on the Polack show in the 1950s (I would have been in Jr. high.) The bears performed so well that many classmates assured me that the big one was really a man in a bear suit because bears can't really do those tricks.

Odd setting.
Looks like the Ringling Show's rubber matting?
These images are frame enlargements from an appearance of Klausen's Bears on the Sullivan show.
The correct name is Klauser (not Klausen)
Herta has just returned to Sarasota from
a visit to Chicago
That older rubber had been grommeted
for lacing to eliminate the curling
but the laced edges were hazardous
I just spoke with Herta & she
would like to thank Buckles & Eric
This bear on the ball is Teddy
That's either Gary or Harry Thomas
When circus was circus, the last wagon off the lot was the pole wagon. Beginning with RBB's 1957 indoor show, it was the rubber wagon.
The Sullivan Show DVD lists them as Klausen. Hmmm

Are you sure that wasn't the Ed Solomon Show
(in a few years they won't remember Letterman)
I once saw some small town local theater ad
for "The Mikado" by Gilbert & Solomon
They must have seen Guti's routine Jim
Who was the Jewish comic who used to appear on the Sullivan show and refer to Ed as "Solomon?"
I think that was the vent Ricky Lane's
dummy "Velvel" with a yiddish accent
I think he was trying to sound like
the great Myron Cohen Dave
Likely Jackie Mason.
