Sure looks like the same arena, building and props as the photo above it.

Bob,
They are both photos from the Longfellow formerly at St. Paul, Minn., later some of the animals going to the Como Park Zoo. It looks like the same guy who is a cross between Flattop of Dick Tracy fame with a Fearless Fosdick of Lil Abner fame mustache. I haven't been able to find out his name anyplace. I wonder if the "show building was built special, including the arena for the purpose of a wild animal show, or if it was something like an old carousel building with the arena added. It sure is a unique arena/building set up.
