Robert Baudy, or as some liked to put it, Ro-BAIR BoDEE. He had an act of greyhounds when he met Zeakolen Walsh, the widow of Court trainer Joe Walsh. She learned training from Joe, and her skills developed the tiger act Robert presented during their marriage. She worked as Charlotte Walsh and Charlotte Baudy, but her friends kept to her birth name, and called her Zeke.
It may be very remote history for some that when Clyde Beatty left the show in the 1953 season to star in PERILS OF THE JUNGLE, Joe Walsh substituted with the act. It was Joe who broke in a number of the cats Beatty showed for the rest of his life. Breaking-age animals in 1953 were in their prime when I knew them in 1964. History even more remote is that Zeke did some of this breaking when Joe was at times unable.
