This Jungleland brochure was given out and also used as a mailer in 1967. The Rulte Bros from Germany leased Jungleland from Louis Goebel after Jimmy Woods and Roy Kabat went into bankruptcy. As time passed and attendance worsened and Jungleland painfully faded away.

I personally DO NOT believe in chain link arenas. It is just to easy for a cat or bear to climb out of, even with a barrier net at the top.

This photo is of the cover of Beatty’s book “The Big Little Book”. The story is about “The Big Cage”. It was a universal studio film starring Clyde Beatty, Anita Page Raymond Hatton and Mickey Rooney. This photo was given to me for the circus blog from Jack Badal. Thanks …… A little foot note: I often wonder why the motion picture producers do not make more circus movies? They have always been a success and they always made money. More importantly, we have some very talented circus performers that indeed are star quality and are just as good if not better than some of the movie actors I have seen lately.

Looks like some of Bill Biggerstaff’s printing. Bill has printed more coupons and circus posters than anyone I know and they are all frist class.

From left to right: Alfredo,Vera Bruce and Lalo. It is my opinion that the Codonas set the bench mark for the rest of the flyiers. This photo was taken on Ringling Bros Barnum & Bailey Circus 1932.
