Timeline

2004

"In 2004, the circus dropped "Clyde Beatty" from its name after it terminated its elephant act. This brought an end to an era that Beatty's name epitomized in which circuses featured wild animals from foreign climes.

1956

His own circus converted from a railroad to a truck operation in 1956 (think of the ultimate scene from Cecil B.

1952

DeMille's Academy Award-winning _The Greatest Show on Earth (1952)_ for one reason why), and in 1958, added "Cole Bros. " to its name to create the "Clyde Beatty-Cole Bros. Circus. " Still in existence, and rivaled only by Ringling Bros. -Barnum & Bailey Circus in North America, it bills itself as "The World's Largest Circus Under The Big Top.

1934

He starred with "Hagenbeck-Wallace Circus" until 1934, when a dispute with "Ringling Bros. and Barnum Bailey Circus" management caused him to sign with a new circus, called the "Cole Bros Circus".

1930

Such was Beatty's fame that he appeared in films from the 1930s through the 1950s and on television until the 1960s. His "fighting act" made him the paradigm of a lion tamer for more than a generation.

Begining in the 1930s, he owned outright or allowed different circuses for which he performed to bear his name.

1925

When he joined "Hagenbeck-Wallace Circus", he learned more from their star trainer Peter Taylor. When he was stricken with a neck injury in 1925, Taylor could not continue his major lion-and-tiger act, and Clyde Beatty took it over at once. With his exciting performing style, he became such a sensation the public filled the tent even during the Depression.

1921

Ran away from home in 1921 to join the Howes Great London Circus, as a cageboy and assistant trainer to "Captain" Louis Roth; called the "world's greatest wild animal trainer" by Louis Goebel, the creator of Jungleland USA.

1903

Clyde Beatty, who was born on June 10, 1903 in Bainbridge, Ohio, was a big game hunter who became famous as a lion tamer and animal trainer. He was the first lion tamer to be featured in a circus. Eventually, he became a circus impresario who owned his own show. Beatty became famous for his "fighting act," in which he entered the cage with wild animals armed only with a bull-whip and a pistol strapped to his hip. The act was designed to showcase the five & a half-foot tall Beatty's courage and mastery of the wild beasts, which included lions, tigers, pumas, and hyenas, sometimes brought together all at once in a single cage in a potentially lethal combination. At the height of his fame, the act featured Beatty solo, in a cage confronting 40 snarling, roaring and caterwauling lions and tigers of both sexes.

1796

The era had lasted for well over two centuries in North America, since Captain Jacob Crowninshield exhibited his two-year old Indian pachyderm in New York, at the corner of Beaver Street and Broadway on April 23, 1796.
