This is Ruppert Bemmerl he presented the elephants on Circus Busch Roland from 1974 or 1973 don't know for sure. He presented Louis Knie's tigers from 1980 until 1982 and he presented Louis Knie's elephant and tiger act on Circus Busch Roland from 1978 until 1980. He was also the Zoo chief at Circus Knie from 1983.

1983: Circus Brazil Jack with 6 elephants of Circus Knie
1974 – 1982: Circus Busch Roland with 6 elephants of Circus Knie / Since 1978 9 tigers from circus knie, since 1979 11 tigers and since 1978 also A elephant and tiger act.
1961 – 1973: Circus Knie working with the Knie elephants
1960: Blackpool Tower Circus with the elphants of Circus Knie.

In 1983 Louis Knie took back the tigers and presented them at Althoff Jacobi and later Louis presented them back at Circus Knie. And in 1988 the act was sold to Tarzan Zerbini were first Tarzan presented the act and later Daniel Suskow.

Thomas,
"Circus Brazil Jack" Did you make that name up? I have never heard of him.
What makes you think Tarzan worked the act?

wade,
Brazil jack is a scandinavian circus that is owned by the rodhin family. It still exists and is a very small circus. I think you told me tarzan worked or i read it on buckles blog.

Wade,
John herriot said tarzan worked with the tigers himself. You can found that on the reactions of the picture of louis' revolving fire hoop.

Thomas,
Remember as I told you, always confirm something solid, before you take it as fact. Read what Dick Flint says in the thread above. Dick understands the importance of History.

Wade,
John herriot told tarzan worked it and he was the ring master then. You said daniel suskow and pierre spindler worked with it.

Brazil Jack was the circus founded by Trolle Rhodin in the 80s. Brazil Jack was the artist name of Trolle's father.


Thomas: where the hell you've found the chronology of Louis' tiger act?.

Anyway, here at least three of Louis' engagements you missed. I give you two weeks to fill the gaps.

Thomas,
We better get busy. Raffaele has challenged you. He is insisting on 3 weeks. That's what happens when you sweat the small stuff. LOL It wasn't very long that Tarzan worked with it.

Thomas,
Sorry. I thought you were calling the gentleman on the elephant Circus Brazil Jack. Like an interview, don't start quoting the Ringmaster and putting that in someone's bio. You will really be wrong. LOL It's bad enough he calls Casey The Texas Tiger Titan. LOL

Never heard that name. Usually they don't narrow it down to just Texas. More of an "Americas' Own Titan of Trained Tigers",,,,LOL

Casey,
"America's Own!!!" Jim Ragona used that in 1984 on GSOE. Tell them to get on the ball and get new and modern.
