Left to right is Pat Anthony, Dick McGraw and Stephano Repeteto. These three became  great lion and tiger trainers…each with their own personality apparant in their acts.  Photo taken in  December  1950’s at Jungleland Compound in Thousand Oaks,California.

    I am Pat Anthony’s daughter. My mother is Gloria Bale. I am always so happy to see any pictures or articles about my father. He and my grandfather, Edwin T Bale, were some of the best animal trainers there were. Thanks for sharing this great picture.
