Brazilian Nationals--Nov. 16-20
Vintage Carson and Barnes
I have never heard of this trainer. Is this possibly Okie Carr? He was mauled severely in the late 60's early 70's.
Vintage Clyde Beatty
From these two pictures it appears Clyde opened his act with all the tigers at the front on stretch bars above, and as lions were eliminated from the act some of the tigers moved to the back of the arena below. 
Vintage Hagenbeck
Hagenbeck's first liger "breeding experiment". Reportedly the animals were sold to the Barcelona Zoo for 2 million dollars!!!!
Hagenbeck animal act with ligers, Munich 1935
Hagenbeck animal act, 1893
Olga Celeste
The Circus "NO SPIN ZONE": Olga Celeste--M.D. McCarter ...
Would this not have been the "Selig Zoo" before it became the Griffith Park/Los Angeles Zoo?
Beauty and Beast Leopard Act?
Jim Clubb, is this the "Beauty and the Beast" act with out the girls? Those look like the "tower pedestals" leaning against the back wall that leopards sat on with the girls underneath doing shoulder carries. John Cuneo told me one time Court had pedestals that lit up with lights. Are these those pedestals?
Vintage Wild Animal Training
I have posted the two postcards below in the past, and came across the one at the top with a puma recently. They appear to be from a "menagerie show". Could they have been Bostock or Wombwell's operation's.
