Clyde Beatty
Posted By thecircusblog on May 19, 2010
Clyde Batty had the first fighting cat act of any notoriety. It was called a fighting act because of his extraordinary talent to exaggerate the danger of his lions and tigers. Without a doubt working with jungle cats is in fact dangerous but his showmanship and his total control of his cats would keep you on the edge of your seat. Paul Scott, his gun boy in the early 1960’s told me stories of a few close calls. Paul also said Beatty knew just how far he could push his cats and of course he had lead cats that carried the act…….. Clyde Beatty Cole Bros Circus.
