Trevor Bale could train any of the circus animals, and excel in his presentations.

I never saw him work cats in a top hat

only when he doubled as ringmaster

He also presented tigers in a turban

Trevor Bale was one of those talented men who did it all from clowning to training the big cats. Along with talent he was a real gentleman. I had the pleasure of working with him later in his career years after Ringling.
