This is a rare photo of Beatty and his lion Nero. This cat is one big and beautiful animal. The photo was taken in 1931 inside the training bran in Peru, Indiana.

Some of the photos that are donated to the circus blog come with very little information if any. This photo is an animal cage wagon ….within can be seen two lions. Early 1900’s. This may have been the Yankee Patterson Circus?

What a grand photo this is! Band wagon in front followed by eight matched horsemen. I can not make out what is behind them. I wonder if could be the Yankee Patterson circus ? date around 1910?

Animal cage wagon. There are bars dividing the center of this wagon for the purpose of having two different animal on display. Name of circus unknown to me. I am hoping that someone will recognize the next five photos and make a comment.
Canvas Semi
Posted By thecircusblog on February 8, 2010
Quite often I will use the word “wagon”…. it is something you go up with. In the old days, the circus had wagons pulled by horses. Even now when referring to a modern truck and trailer semi ….the semi is still will be called a wagon. The cook house really isn’t a house its a tent or a pie car. Hard to change old ways. So this is a photo of a canvas wagon.
Rubeun Castang

Rubeun Castang was said to be one of the finest great ape trainers of his time. I believe this to be true because of the numerous chimp trainers that praised him…and that includes myself. He is the benchmark for great ape trainers.
