MRS. CLYDE BEATTY HAS DARING ACT WITH NERO

The following article which appered in a recent issue of Billboard, regarding the Cole Bros.-Clyde Beatty Circus, will be of interest to local readers.
Peoria, Ill., Aug. 17.- Like father, like son is an old saying, but the Clyde Beattys are going to reverse that and make it read, like husband, like wife. For Mrs. Harriett Beatty is now a wild animal subjugator and is appearing in the arena of Cole Bros.-Clyde Beatty Circus with a group of lions and tigers. Since last winter Clyde and wife have been working on a group and act was put into program in Fort Wayne, Ind. She concludes her offering by making "Nero," an African lion, jump thru a series of fire hoops. She works alone.
The show was greeted by packed houses in Benton Harbor and Hammond with straw at night show in Hammond. Visitors were numerous and it seemed as tho every circus or showman in Chicago were to either Hammond or Benton Harbor to visit with Jess Adkins and Zack Terrell.
