Clyde Beatty, 1933, Peru, Indiana. Winter Quarters for the American Circus Corp. I just noticed something. Clyde dressed circus even when he wasn’t in the arena…………I like that!

I wish i had been around him before i took on Charley Allen’ Zulu !!!!!
in the late 40s and early 5os across from bunker hill afb ( grissom afb now) was a large animal barn we use to visit in winter, had hippos and elephants and others. i remember it as clyde beatty barns and you could walk through it. had to be careful ,we pulled in once and an elephant come charging around the building being chased by trainers.
i remember being told that farms with concrete balls on base ,were retired circus, and was telling other circus people they were welcome. i do not know thats true , only what we were told.
