The Clyde Betty Show, The World's Greatest wild animal trainer
20
00:01:13.120 --> 00:01:16.359
Clyde Betty with an exciting adventure from his brilliant career.
21
00:01:16.920 --> 00:01:21.319
The circus means thrills, excitement, snarling jungle beasts. The circus
22
00:01:21.439 --> 00:01:24.280
means fun for young folks and old. But under the
23
00:01:24.319 --> 00:01:26.840
big top you see only a part of the story.
24
00:01:27.319 --> 00:01:30.359
The real drama comes behind the scenes, where five hundred
25
00:01:30.400 --> 00:01:33.959
people live as one family, where Clyde Betty constantly risks
26
00:01:34.120 --> 00:01:37.519
death in the most dangerous act on Earth. This master
27
00:01:37.680 --> 00:01:40.159
of the Big Cats has journey to Africa and India,
28
00:01:40.519 --> 00:01:43.319
hunting down his beast in their native jungle. All of
29
00:01:43.400 --> 00:01:47.439
this is part of the Clyde Betty stories. It is
30
00:01:47.680 --> 00:02:01.560
entitled Crisis. On the set. Winter Quarters is just another
31
00:02:01.599 --> 00:02:04.040
way of saying hard work in the linguo of the circuits.
32
00:02:04.319 --> 00:02:06.760
Instead of a vacation, it means getting ready to put
33
00:02:06.760 --> 00:02:08.439
a bigger and better show on the road for the
34
00:02:08.479 --> 00:02:12.199
coming season. Tents have to be repaired, equipment painted, new
35
00:02:12.280 --> 00:02:15.919
costumes made, a million details taken care of, and in
36
00:02:16.039 --> 00:02:18.120
the case of the animal trainer, he must dream up
37
00:02:18.159 --> 00:02:21.000
and perfect new stunts for his jungle cats to perform.
38
00:02:21.759 --> 00:02:24.199
That's why most any day during the off season, I'm
39
00:02:24.240 --> 00:02:26.439
still have to be found in the steel arena, the
40
00:02:26.520 --> 00:02:31.879
big cage inside the catfarm erro back on that pedestal,
41
00:02:31.919 --> 00:02:37.000
you devil beck Haig the time. Hold it all right, Primma,
42
00:02:37.240 --> 00:02:44.400
come down right here, come on, damp down down, Teddy?
43
00:02:45.159 --> 00:02:48.759
All right, how are you going now? Over Prima? Roll
44
00:02:50.120 --> 00:02:55.159
back up there now hold it, good girl, Primma. I
45
00:02:55.240 --> 00:02:57.280
think that'll do it for today. Open the tunnel gate
46
00:02:57.319 --> 00:02:58.400
and let them back in their cages.
47
00:03:01.479 --> 00:03:02.240
He's about done.
48
00:03:02.280 --> 00:03:04.719
He came out of their clod. Those kat will be
49
00:03:04.759 --> 00:03:06.879
striking for shorter hours if you're not careful.
50
00:03:07.319 --> 00:03:08.639
I didn't know you'd come over her.
51
00:03:09.240 --> 00:03:11.159
I think you'll be interested when I tell you why
52
00:03:11.280 --> 00:03:11.800
I came over.
53
00:03:12.000 --> 00:03:14.840
Oh that's easy, because you're madly in love with me.
54
00:03:16.080 --> 00:03:19.080
All right, I can say. But there's still another reason.
55
00:03:19.680 --> 00:03:22.319
Remember the man from Monarch Studios that talked to last summer.
56
00:03:22.319 --> 00:03:24.520
When we say Los Angeles for sure, what about him?
57
00:03:24.680 --> 00:03:26.840
He's over at the office right now. He wants to
58
00:03:26.879 --> 00:03:29.199
talk some more about that circus picture they want to make.
59
00:03:29.400 --> 00:03:51.120
No kidding, Well, what are we waiting for? Come on? Well,
60
00:03:51.280 --> 00:03:53.960
that's the deal in a nutsheal, Betty, what do you think?
61
00:03:55.719 --> 00:03:57.759
I hardly know what to think, missus Shaeffer, but it
62
00:03:57.840 --> 00:03:59.719
sounds good to me. That is, if we wouldn't have
63
00:03:59.800 --> 00:04:01.840
to be gone too long. I got a lot of
64
00:04:01.879 --> 00:04:03.800
work to do here before the season opened, per.
65
00:04:03.840 --> 00:04:06.639
Sure, we understand that, but this shouldn't take more than
66
00:04:06.680 --> 00:04:09.039
a couple of weeks. To the outside would have given
67
00:04:09.080 --> 00:04:11.080
you more warning. Only with just a few days ago
68
00:04:11.159 --> 00:04:13.319
we decided to go into production on the Circus picture
69
00:04:13.400 --> 00:04:13.719
right away.
70
00:04:14.000 --> 00:04:15.759
When would we have to be out there, mister shaff
71
00:04:16.120 --> 00:04:16.800
Just as soon as.
72
00:04:16.759 --> 00:04:19.560
Possible, and we'd like to start shooting the animal scenes
73
00:04:19.560 --> 00:04:21.680
in a week if we can. Could you get the
74
00:04:21.720 --> 00:04:23.639
animals you use in your act out there that soon?
75
00:04:23.720 --> 00:04:26.759
Baby? I think so. We're used to moving on pretty short.
76
00:04:26.800 --> 00:04:30.199
Note good, good, and I hear the contracts if you're
77
00:04:30.240 --> 00:04:32.480
just signed them right here where the little extras remarked,
78
00:04:33.199 --> 00:04:35.079
how about it, Harriet, okay with you.
79
00:04:35.360 --> 00:04:36.040
You're the boss.
80
00:04:36.360 --> 00:04:37.519
I think it sounds wonderful.
81
00:04:38.040 --> 00:04:40.680
That settles it. Then this may be the best chance
82
00:04:40.720 --> 00:04:43.839
we'll ever get for a vacation for the salary we're
83
00:04:43.879 --> 00:04:48.040
paying you. How can you lud here? You are mister Shaffer.
84
00:04:48.879 --> 00:04:50.800
Eh, here's a copy of the script.
85
00:04:50.920 --> 00:04:52.839
You can look it over on your way to the coast. Yes,
86
00:04:53.000 --> 00:04:55.639
I guess i'd better. I'll probably have more trouble with
87
00:04:55.800 --> 00:04:57.959
my lines than with my tigers.
88
00:04:58.879 --> 00:05:01.360
Clyde Slee, no more fun.
89
00:05:01.680 --> 00:05:05.560
I was sorry the minute. You won't have any trouble
90
00:05:05.639 --> 00:05:09.399
in this picture. Actions will speak louder than words. It's
91
00:05:09.439 --> 00:05:11.680
the way you handle those wild animals that will be
92
00:05:11.800 --> 00:05:12.399
most important.
93
00:05:12.480 --> 00:05:12.680
Hmm.
94
00:05:12.800 --> 00:05:14.360
I just hope they're not camera shy.
95
00:05:14.680 --> 00:05:16.600
Oh, this would be like all home week for them.
96
00:05:17.160 --> 00:05:19.240
Or why do you see what a realistic jungle tet
97
00:05:19.319 --> 00:05:20.879
We've got jungle set right?
98
00:05:21.519 --> 00:05:25.399
Yes, what's the matter. Well, it's sort of hard to explain,
99
00:05:25.560 --> 00:05:28.800
but putting lines and tigers in an artificial jungle is
100
00:05:28.879 --> 00:05:31.839
asking for trouble. It fools them and they report right
101
00:05:31.920 --> 00:05:34.800
back to their jungle ways. I didn't know that. Not
102
00:05:34.959 --> 00:05:37.120
many people do. But a friend of mine was killed
103
00:05:37.160 --> 00:05:39.680
under just those circumstances a few years ago. One of
104
00:05:39.720 --> 00:05:41.879
the best trainers in the business. But he couldn't control
105
00:05:41.959 --> 00:05:44.240
his cats when they were turned loose and those surroundings.
106
00:05:44.720 --> 00:05:47.759
Oh does that mean you won't do it?
107
00:05:47.839 --> 00:05:48.120
Baby?
108
00:05:48.879 --> 00:05:52.519
No? I probably should have my head examined, but I'll
109
00:05:52.600 --> 00:06:07.560
do it and I'll guarantee it won't be dull. We
110
00:06:07.720 --> 00:06:19.399
returned to Clyde Beatty after this message. Now back to
111
00:06:19.800 --> 00:06:23.360
crisis on the set. A week after mister Shaffer's visit
112
00:06:23.439 --> 00:06:26.240
to winter Quarters, the babies found themselves in Hollywood, where
113
00:06:26.279 --> 00:06:28.120
Clyde and his big cats were to appear in a
114
00:06:28.160 --> 00:06:32.519
motion picture. Upon getting comfortably settled, they visit Monarch Studios,
115
00:06:32.519 --> 00:06:35.000
where Clyde has an appointment with the producer of the film.
116
00:06:37.920 --> 00:06:42.439
Yes, mister Goodman, shouldn't that lions camer in, Baby Goodman.
117
00:06:42.879 --> 00:06:43.920
Oh, mister Goodman will see you.
118
00:06:44.000 --> 00:06:48.120
How mister baby, thank you. Just go right on in. Oh, baby,
119
00:06:48.279 --> 00:06:50.879
good to see you. Come in, come in. Welcome to
120
00:06:50.959 --> 00:06:53.720
my Dach Studios. Baby, thank you. Mister down, sit down,
121
00:06:53.839 --> 00:06:56.360
I'm glad you hear baby. A couple of days behind schedule.
122
00:06:56.439 --> 00:06:58.680
Now waiting to shoot the animal sequence. Well I'm sorry
123
00:06:58.720 --> 00:07:01.639
I got here. Just wait, glad you're here. What do
124
00:07:01.680 --> 00:07:03.279
you think of the story? Terrific? Isn't it? Well it
125
00:07:03.360 --> 00:07:05.399
looks fine. I guess. Of course I'm not a great
126
00:07:05.439 --> 00:07:07.639
cast too. You've read the script chief I gave you,
127
00:07:07.680 --> 00:07:09.360
of course, But yes I have As a matter of fact,
128
00:07:09.399 --> 00:07:11.120
I wanted to talk to you. But you understand why
129
00:07:11.199 --> 00:07:13.399
we've got to have Valerie Collins and Marvin Mason play
130
00:07:13.439 --> 00:07:15.800
the leads. Don't You got to have a romantic interest.
131
00:07:15.879 --> 00:07:18.240
You know, public demands it, so we give it to him.
132
00:07:18.600 --> 00:07:21.160
Of course you'll still get feature billing. Well that isn't
133
00:07:21.199 --> 00:07:23.439
what's bothering me, mister Goodman. That's all fine with me.
134
00:07:23.560 --> 00:07:25.240
But I was wondering about the boy who's playing the
135
00:07:25.279 --> 00:07:27.040
part of my kid brother, the one who's supposed to
136
00:07:27.040 --> 00:07:30.759
fight with a tiger. Tommy Fairchild, great kid. You love him, batty,
137
00:07:30.959 --> 00:07:33.319
I don't doubt that, But it's that business where he
138
00:07:33.360 --> 00:07:35.879
wrestles a tiger that's got me stumped. You see, I
139
00:07:35.920 --> 00:07:38.519
wouldn't wrestle any of my tigers myself, let alone have
140
00:07:38.639 --> 00:07:41.480
some sixteen year old doer. Oh that I see. You
141
00:07:41.519 --> 00:07:44.079
haven't been told the details. But he won't be wrestling
142
00:07:44.160 --> 00:07:46.279
with one of your tiger's baby Well, what's he? No? No, No,
143
00:07:46.519 --> 00:07:48.439
he's got one. He's raised from a cub that he's
144
00:07:48.480 --> 00:07:50.720
been wrestling and fooling around with for two or three
145
00:07:50.800 --> 00:07:53.879
years now. That's all taken care of. His father owns
146
00:07:53.920 --> 00:07:56.079
a small menagerie out in the valley used to be
147
00:07:56.160 --> 00:07:58.560
a small time animal trainer himself. I think, well, that's
148
00:07:58.600 --> 00:08:00.639
a little different, all right, But I nothing to worry
149
00:08:00.680 --> 00:08:03.399
about their baby, and then'll make a terrific scene. The
150
00:08:03.519 --> 00:08:05.199
kid will make a good little ect or two. I
151
00:08:05.439 --> 00:08:08.319
don't think you understand, mister Goodman. Don't you see the
152
00:08:08.399 --> 00:08:10.519
fact that he's been wrestling that tiger since it was
153
00:08:10.560 --> 00:08:12.879
a cub doesn't really mean much. You can do that
154
00:08:13.079 --> 00:08:14.879
just so long, But sooner or later, what seems to
155
00:08:14.920 --> 00:08:17.240
be a gentle, lovable cat will turn on you without
156
00:08:17.279 --> 00:08:20.120
warning and try to kill you. Oh come now, baby,
157
00:08:20.560 --> 00:08:23.720
fits not let our imaginations run wild. That sin has
158
00:08:23.759 --> 00:08:26.759
got to stay. Look at this. Your party is in
159
00:08:26.839 --> 00:08:29.920
the jungle, hunting wild animals for the psykis. You're lost
160
00:08:30.160 --> 00:08:32.919
somewhere in the vast South American jungle. Your kid brother,
161
00:08:32.960 --> 00:08:35.840
who's only sixteen, wanders off and falls into the big
162
00:08:35.919 --> 00:08:38.600
pitch you've dug in the trail, And there already in
163
00:08:38.639 --> 00:08:41.759
the pit is this giant Bengal tiger. But mister Goodman,
164
00:08:41.879 --> 00:08:45.000
they don't have Bengal tigers in South America. Why certainly
165
00:08:45.039 --> 00:08:47.039
they do in the script, isn't it you're not going
166
00:08:47.080 --> 00:08:49.240
to argue with one of the best scenario writers in Hollywood,
167
00:08:49.360 --> 00:08:52.960
Do you realize? Rudolf Klemer wrote this, Rudolph had better
168
00:08:53.000 --> 00:08:55.279
read up on his wild animals a bit, mister Goodman,
169
00:08:55.360 --> 00:08:59.080
because there are no tigers in South America, none, you know,
170
00:08:59.200 --> 00:09:01.039
come to think of it. Leave you are right, I
171
00:09:01.159 --> 00:09:03.799
must tell Clement to watch that. Oh well, we'll change
172
00:09:03.840 --> 00:09:07.320
it anyway. The tiger attacks the boy. They wrestle around.
173
00:09:07.360 --> 00:09:10.200
It looks like he'll be killed. Suddenly he tears free,
174
00:09:10.519 --> 00:09:12.360
looks the beast in the eye, and holds his hand up.
175
00:09:12.639 --> 00:09:16.799
The tiger backs off. Hypnotize. Oh what a scene. I'll
176
00:09:16.919 --> 00:09:19.799
admit it sounds interesting, all right. It's a natural baby.
177
00:09:20.120 --> 00:09:22.320
Having that kid and the tiger get the wrestling looks
178
00:09:22.360 --> 00:09:24.279
like a real fight, and the kid has a tiger
179
00:09:24.320 --> 00:09:26.080
train to back off when he gives him a signal. Well,
180
00:09:26.120 --> 00:09:29.159
I suppose it's none of my affair. We're going to
181
00:09:29.200 --> 00:09:30.679
shoot the scene where you do your act in the
182
00:09:30.720 --> 00:09:33.960
arena this afternoon. That's first on the schedule. Maybe you'll
183
00:09:34.000 --> 00:09:35.240
ran to go over and look at the setup on
184
00:09:35.320 --> 00:09:38.279
the sound stage, FoST Yes, i'd like to. My wife's
185
00:09:38.320 --> 00:09:40.600
over there now. Fine, fine, Fine, it's stage number six.
186
00:09:40.679 --> 00:09:41.279
You can't miss it.
187
00:09:41.360 --> 00:09:41.600
Baby.
188
00:09:42.000 --> 00:09:44.600
You'll probably find out director Larry Sidney around there someplace.
189
00:09:44.879 --> 00:09:48.480
If you need anything, just tell him. Thank you, mister Goodman.
190
00:09:48.519 --> 00:10:02.399
I'll go right on over. Sorry, I was so long, Harriet.
191
00:10:02.919 --> 00:10:03.879
You've been having any fun?
192
00:10:04.200 --> 00:10:04.360
Oh?
193
00:10:04.519 --> 00:10:07.600
Loads of it? God, this is all very interesting watching
194
00:10:07.679 --> 00:10:10.039
them picked up the city. It's beginning to look like
195
00:10:10.120 --> 00:10:10.919
a real second.
196
00:10:11.559 --> 00:10:12.320
It is a dad.
197
00:10:12.799 --> 00:10:14.399
Did you have a good talk with mister Goodman?
198
00:10:15.879 --> 00:10:20.039
Terrific, stupendous. I'm afraid he did most of the talking.
199
00:10:21.000 --> 00:10:23.320
By the way, They're gonna shoot the Arena act this afternoon.
200
00:10:23.480 --> 00:10:24.240
Oh so soon.
201
00:10:25.159 --> 00:10:26.960
They don't believe in wasting time, do they?
202
00:10:27.279 --> 00:10:29.600
Apparently not. Have you visited the cats yet?
203
00:10:29.919 --> 00:10:32.000
Yes, I looked in on them a while ago. They
204
00:10:32.039 --> 00:10:34.399
seem to have made the chip in good shape. They
205
00:10:34.519 --> 00:10:37.159
even seem glad to see I hope.
206
00:10:36.919 --> 00:10:39.320
They feel the same way when they say me, pardon me,
207
00:10:39.600 --> 00:10:41.919
aren't you Clyde Batty? Oh yes i am.
208
00:10:42.039 --> 00:10:45.480
I'm Jack Fairchild. Baby, my son Tommy is going to
209
00:10:45.519 --> 00:10:46.279
be in a picture with you.
210
00:10:46.440 --> 00:10:48.440
Oh, I'm glad to know you. This is my wife,
211
00:10:48.519 --> 00:10:49.120
mister Farechaw.
212
00:10:49.279 --> 00:10:52.519
How do you do pleasure, missus. Baby, looks like they're
213
00:10:52.519 --> 00:10:55.320
gonna have a swell picture here, I hope. So you
214
00:10:55.399 --> 00:10:57.480
know you and I have got something in common, baby.
215
00:10:57.919 --> 00:11:00.480
I used to do a little animal work myself years ago.
216
00:11:00.720 --> 00:11:00.840
Uh.
217
00:11:01.399 --> 00:11:04.840
Of course, my training was mostly with chimps, dogs, one
218
00:11:04.919 --> 00:11:07.879
thing and another. I never got famous like you, but
219
00:11:08.159 --> 00:11:09.840
I learned plenty about animals.
220
00:11:09.919 --> 00:11:13.120
If I do jasus, Well, maybe I shouldn't be asking.
221
00:11:13.279 --> 00:11:16.320
But didn't you ever learn that you can't trust any
222
00:11:16.360 --> 00:11:19.159
of them completely? What do you mean by that? I'm
223
00:11:19.200 --> 00:11:21.600
referring to this business of having your son wrestled with
224
00:11:21.679 --> 00:11:23.879
his so called pet tiger. How long do you think
225
00:11:23.919 --> 00:11:25.960
he can get away with that? Oh? Nothing to worry
226
00:11:26.000 --> 00:11:29.679
about from Rajah? Why he and Tom are pills. Tom's
227
00:11:29.759 --> 00:11:32.279
raised you since Raja was just a cough so I hear.
228
00:11:32.399 --> 00:11:34.720
But even so, I'll guarantee no son of mine ad
229
00:11:34.759 --> 00:11:38.000
be wrestling with any tiger. Hey, I believe you're jealous.
230
00:11:37.759 --> 00:11:39.799
Of a kid just because you can't do it.
231
00:11:39.840 --> 00:11:41.600
There's no shine nobody else shoot? Is it?
232
00:11:42.080 --> 00:11:44.799
And after all, we're getting some pretty good money.
233
00:11:44.639 --> 00:11:47.639
For the trick in this picture. We're getting good money.
234
00:11:48.080 --> 00:11:50.759
Well, Tommy is if you want to put it that way.
235
00:11:51.360 --> 00:11:52.960
I don't see how you can begrudge that.
236
00:11:53.279 --> 00:11:55.919
I'm afraid we're talking about two different things, fair child.
237
00:11:56.480 --> 00:11:58.279
I just thought if you weren't smart enough to know
238
00:11:58.399 --> 00:12:01.080
your son's playing with dynamite, it's time somebody told you
239
00:12:01.159 --> 00:12:01.720
you don't have to.
240
00:12:01.720 --> 00:12:04.679
Get so high and mighty about it. Someday my kid
241
00:12:04.720 --> 00:12:07.039
will make your act look like a pink tea party.
242
00:12:07.559 --> 00:12:10.320
You just mind your own business, now, take care of mine, understand,
243
00:12:11.360 --> 00:12:15.320
lovely fellow is though, I'll bet his kid is a
244
00:12:15.360 --> 00:12:17.919
typical smart alect that thinks he knows all the answers too.
245
00:12:19.200 --> 00:12:21.559
Oh well here, yeah I'm wrong. Come on, let's go
246
00:12:21.600 --> 00:12:22.919
grab a bite to eat and then get over to
247
00:12:22.960 --> 00:12:24.679
the dressing room. I still got to get dressed and
248
00:12:24.759 --> 00:12:25.120
ready to.
249
00:12:25.200 --> 00:12:27.840
Act, you know, my but I'm impressed.
250
00:12:28.320 --> 00:12:31.120
Imagine me being the wife of a movie stuff.
251
00:12:42.559 --> 00:12:44.600
Here. Now, how do I look? Oh?
252
00:12:44.840 --> 00:12:50.759
Handsome, dashing, fearless, intrepid and your boots needs polishing?
253
00:12:50.960 --> 00:12:52.879
Oh I was afraid of that. Why couldn't I have
254
00:12:52.960 --> 00:12:55.039
taken up some kind of work where I could go barefoot?
255
00:12:55.480 --> 00:12:57.320
Oh that would be too dangerous.
256
00:12:57.360 --> 00:12:59.159
Dere you might step on a nail.
257
00:13:00.679 --> 00:13:03.120
Come in, are ready to shoot?
258
00:13:03.159 --> 00:13:04.480
Your acts now, mister Beaty.
259
00:13:04.399 --> 00:13:07.200
And you come right over to Stage six. Sure, I'm ready.
260
00:13:07.360 --> 00:13:11.960
Tell him I'm on the way. How the boots look
261
00:13:12.039 --> 00:13:15.279
now much? Well, I'd hate to hold up production the
262
00:13:15.320 --> 00:13:17.399
first day. I better get a move on. You coming,
263
00:13:17.840 --> 00:13:18.679
just try and stop me.
264
00:13:19.320 --> 00:13:21.919
Oh, I hope everything goes perficularly, Oh it will.
265
00:13:22.360 --> 00:13:34.799
This will be just routine. Come on, let's go. Sound
266
00:13:34.879 --> 00:13:37.639
Stage six was a madhouse, people running back and forth
267
00:13:37.799 --> 00:13:39.960
like ants and talking in a language all their own.
268
00:13:40.559 --> 00:13:43.000
But underneath it all was an air of virgin deficiency,
269
00:13:43.159 --> 00:13:46.639
each person doing his job quickly and thoroughly. I wondered
270
00:13:46.679 --> 00:13:49.039
how the big cats would react to the strange atmosphere
271
00:13:49.039 --> 00:13:51.720
into the bright lights on the set, But whatever concern
272
00:13:51.799 --> 00:13:54.159
I felt at first quickly vanished as the animals seemed
273
00:13:54.159 --> 00:13:56.559
to take everything in stride. I worked them for a
274
00:13:56.639 --> 00:13:59.639
few minutes, rehearsing the scene to be filmed. Then the
275
00:13:59.720 --> 00:14:03.600
direct Okay, mister Beatty, we're ready to shoot. You're set already,
276
00:14:03.639 --> 00:14:06.440
mister Sydney. I remember now, when that lion charges and
277
00:14:06.519 --> 00:14:08.120
you run for the safety cage at the end of
278
00:14:08.200 --> 00:14:11.399
the scene, register an expression of fear. You're terrified, afraid
279
00:14:11.440 --> 00:14:13.320
you won't get out in time. That'll be easy. I
280
00:14:13.320 --> 00:14:16.320
won't be acting for that shot. Okay, fire on the set.
281
00:14:16.679 --> 00:14:23.960
This is a take all right room action. For a
282
00:14:24.000 --> 00:14:26.000
few minutes, I forgot about being on a movie set.
283
00:14:26.279 --> 00:14:28.759
Everything was going smoothly. Then I noticed some of the
284
00:14:28.840 --> 00:14:31.360
cats acting more and more surly. Suddenly it dawned on
285
00:14:31.440 --> 00:14:33.440
me they were protesting at the intense heat under the
286
00:14:33.519 --> 00:14:36.320
cleag lights. I realized I'd have to cut the act short,
287
00:14:36.639 --> 00:14:39.519
but I remembered the director particularly wanted the shot of Caesar,
288
00:14:39.639 --> 00:14:42.440
my charge cat, chasing me into the safety cage. I
289
00:14:42.559 --> 00:14:45.440
hurried Slica, the spinning tiger through her trick and killed
290
00:14:45.480 --> 00:14:48.159
Caesar down from his pedestal. He glared at me as
291
00:14:48.240 --> 00:14:51.440
yellowish green eyes flashing and ominous warning. Then before I
292
00:14:51.600 --> 00:14:54.440
was in position, he started to charge. My grip tightened
293
00:14:54.480 --> 00:14:56.960
on the chair as I scurried backward toward the safety cage.
294
00:14:57.240 --> 00:14:59.960
See her back twice. I flanked him as I reached
295
00:15:00.080 --> 00:15:02.679
for the cage door. Then my heart froze. The door
296
00:15:02.799 --> 00:15:14.240
was stuck and I couldn't budget. The Clyde Batty show
297
00:15:14.320 --> 00:15:23.120
will continue in just a moment, And now back to
298
00:15:23.399 --> 00:15:34.919
Clyde Batty and crisis on the set as the camera's
299
00:15:34.960 --> 00:15:37.399
ground on the movie sat Clyde put his jungle performers
300
00:15:37.440 --> 00:15:39.679
through their paces, but after a few minutes he found
301
00:15:39.720 --> 00:15:43.039
them becoming more and more surly and unmanageable. Nothing to
302
00:15:43.120 --> 00:15:45.080
do but cut the act short and give them a rest.
303
00:15:45.679 --> 00:15:48.720
Caesar came down off his pedestal as usual, but started
304
00:15:48.759 --> 00:15:52.120
his charge before Clyde was in position. Quickly, Clyde back
305
00:15:52.159 --> 00:15:54.200
to the door of the safety cage, only to discover
306
00:15:54.320 --> 00:15:57.399
it was stuck tight. It wouldn't much sea get back
307
00:15:58.080 --> 00:16:00.919
to the mighty spring. Caesar hurdle taut, batting the chair
308
00:16:00.960 --> 00:16:03.480
from my grasp. Instinctively, I dropped to the floor and
309
00:16:03.559 --> 00:16:05.799
he flew over my head, crushing into the cage whiles
310
00:16:05.879 --> 00:16:08.799
behind me. I felt a searing staff of pain in
311
00:16:08.879 --> 00:16:10.799
my right arm as he fell almost on top of me.
312
00:16:11.279 --> 00:16:13.159
The crash made him groggy for a second, and I
313
00:16:13.279 --> 00:16:15.919
regained my feet before he did. Quickly, I grabbed the
314
00:16:16.000 --> 00:16:19.399
chair again and charged him, firing blanks and showering Peter,
315
00:16:19.559 --> 00:16:23.159
get back over there. My action took him completely by surprise.
316
00:16:23.240 --> 00:16:28.039
He slunk back to the other side of the arena. Hey.
317
00:16:28.440 --> 00:16:30.519
I snapped back to my senses and raced for the
318
00:16:30.559 --> 00:16:32.879
safety cage. This time, the door opened easily and I
319
00:16:32.960 --> 00:16:34.799
slipped through, slamming a chest behind me.
320
00:16:35.000 --> 00:16:36.759
Oh I thank goodness, you're safeguard.
321
00:16:37.120 --> 00:16:41.120
Oh you're on It's okay here. What was the matter
322
00:16:41.159 --> 00:16:42.279
with that down door? Anyway?
323
00:16:43.080 --> 00:16:45.200
Piece of woodcut webs underneath when you closed it.
324
00:16:45.960 --> 00:16:48.000
I'm glad somebody had sense enough to realize that it
325
00:16:48.120 --> 00:16:50.559
was terrific Baty's sensation. Get your breath now, and we
326
00:16:50.679 --> 00:16:52.720
do a retake of the same thing in a minute retake.
327
00:16:53.320 --> 00:16:55.240
Are you out of your mind? Mister Sidney? I was
328
00:16:55.320 --> 00:16:57.720
nearly killed that time. Huh. Where isn't that the way
329
00:16:57.720 --> 00:17:00.600
you always do it? It certainly isn't get this time.
330
00:17:01.240 --> 00:17:03.799
Oh I'm sorry, baby, I hadn't noticed. If I'm gonna
331
00:17:03.840 --> 00:17:06.079
donate any more blood, it'll beat at the Red Cross.
332
00:17:27.279 --> 00:17:31.359
How does it feel? Not all right? Just a couple
333
00:17:31.400 --> 00:17:34.559
of scratches. Fortunately, did the doctor give you some shots?
334
00:17:34.799 --> 00:17:37.680
Don't they always that? He said?
335
00:17:37.680 --> 00:17:40.119
It's okay, Well, you better get some rest in your
336
00:17:40.200 --> 00:17:44.319
dressing room now. I'm glad mister Sidney didn't insist that
337
00:17:44.480 --> 00:17:45.720
scene be done over again.
338
00:17:45.920 --> 00:17:49.640
Oh my, this is one movie that's gonna be plenty realistic,
339
00:17:50.960 --> 00:17:52.319
and here we are. You're gonna come in?
340
00:17:53.039 --> 00:17:54.640
No, not just now.
341
00:17:55.200 --> 00:17:57.119
You couldn't rest if I were around the heck are
342
00:17:57.160 --> 00:17:59.400
you in? And I think I'll run over to that
343
00:17:59.519 --> 00:18:01.599
set where it's Monica Davenport shooting.
344
00:18:01.839 --> 00:18:05.000
Okay, you run along, dear, I'll see you later. Just uh,
345
00:18:05.519 --> 00:18:08.680
don't talk to any of those dashing, handsome leading men,
346
00:18:08.839 --> 00:18:09.240
that's all.
347
00:18:10.400 --> 00:18:18.200
Don't worry once enough for me, mister Batty.
348
00:18:19.680 --> 00:18:24.480
Well, hello, I I I hope you won't be mad
349
00:18:24.519 --> 00:18:26.720
because I came in your dressing room. Mister Batty, I'm
350
00:18:26.799 --> 00:18:27.599
Tommy Fairchild.
351
00:18:27.799 --> 00:18:29.839
Oh glad to meet you. Tommy, could uh.
352
00:18:29.839 --> 00:18:31.400
Could I talk to you for a minute, mister Beatty?
353
00:18:31.519 --> 00:18:33.519
It's awful important? Well, sure think kids?
354
00:18:33.519 --> 00:18:33.920
Sit down?
355
00:18:34.680 --> 00:18:36.640
Hey, what's the matter with You're wrong?
356
00:18:36.960 --> 00:18:40.319
Mm? That nothing much one of my lines and I
357
00:18:40.400 --> 00:18:42.759
had a little difference of opinion, that's all. He scratched
358
00:18:42.799 --> 00:18:43.759
me a little. Gee.
359
00:18:44.440 --> 00:18:45.759
Oh, I'm sorry, mister Batty.
360
00:18:48.599 --> 00:18:49.480
What can I do for you?
361
00:18:50.119 --> 00:18:52.799
Well, it's it's about about the picture.
362
00:18:53.480 --> 00:18:55.839
I know you'll think I'm a sissy and my dad
363
00:18:55.880 --> 00:18:57.319
would have a fit if you knew I was talking
364
00:18:57.359 --> 00:19:00.640
to you about it. But I don't wanna fight with Roger.
365
00:19:00.440 --> 00:19:01.079
Down in that pit.
366
00:19:01.400 --> 00:19:03.680
Well, this is a surprise. I had a little chat
367
00:19:03.759 --> 00:19:05.480
with your dad this morning, and I thought you were
368
00:19:05.480 --> 00:19:07.079
as anxious to do it as he was to have
369
00:19:07.200 --> 00:19:07.440
you do.
370
00:19:07.920 --> 00:19:10.839
That's just said, mister Batty. The whole thing is Dad's idea.
371
00:19:11.480 --> 00:19:13.799
He always wanted me to be a trainer. That's why
372
00:19:13.839 --> 00:19:15.680
he had me fooling around with Roger since he was
373
00:19:15.759 --> 00:19:19.680
a cub. But I'm getting scared, mister Baty. I don't
374
00:19:19.720 --> 00:19:20.480
want to be a trainer.
375
00:19:20.599 --> 00:19:22.960
Well, at least your honest Tommy. But I don't see
376
00:19:22.960 --> 00:19:24.799
where you've got much of a problem. Just call the
377
00:19:24.839 --> 00:19:25.400
whole thing off.
378
00:19:25.480 --> 00:19:27.440
No, I tried to, mister Baty, but Dad won't listen
379
00:19:27.480 --> 00:19:29.400
to me, he says. I don't know my own mind.
380
00:19:29.759 --> 00:19:30.079
He says.
381
00:19:30.119 --> 00:19:32.000
I ought to be ashamed of myself being scared of it.
382
00:19:32.079 --> 00:19:32.680
Pet tiger.
383
00:19:34.160 --> 00:19:37.079
You want to know something, Tommy, My lions and tigers
384
00:19:37.119 --> 00:19:40.119
aren't what you'd call pets. But I'm scared too plenty
385
00:19:40.200 --> 00:19:40.599
of times.
386
00:19:40.720 --> 00:19:43.640
Gee, no kidding, I never thought i'd hear you say that.
387
00:19:43.799 --> 00:19:45.799
Well, it's nothing to be ashamed of. The day a
388
00:19:45.880 --> 00:19:47.839
trainer thinks he has nothing to be afraid of, will
389
00:19:47.839 --> 00:19:50.880
be the day he stops being a trainer. But what
390
00:19:51.079 --> 00:19:52.519
is it that's made you afraid of Roger?
391
00:19:53.039 --> 00:19:55.079
Well, it's kind of hard to describe.
392
00:19:55.680 --> 00:19:58.039
At first, I like getting in and wrestling around with him,
393
00:19:58.079 --> 00:20:01.279
but gee, he's full grown now, and well lately I've
394
00:20:01.319 --> 00:20:03.119
been scared every time I've gone in his cage.
395
00:20:03.640 --> 00:20:06.400
I got a feeling some days gonna forget we're just playing.
396
00:20:06.599 --> 00:20:08.759
I can see you're a lot smarter about animals than
397
00:20:08.759 --> 00:20:09.319
your dad is.
398
00:20:09.480 --> 00:20:12.160
And worst of all, I think Roger's beginning to know
399
00:20:12.279 --> 00:20:12.799
I'm afraid.
400
00:20:12.880 --> 00:20:15.599
He undoubtedly is Tommy. They're quick to sense it unless
401
00:20:15.599 --> 00:20:16.759
you're mighty good at bluffy.
402
00:20:16.839 --> 00:20:19.519
Well, what can I do, mister Batty? If I tell Dad,
403
00:20:19.599 --> 00:20:22.640
I just won't do it here. Gosh, I guess I'd
404
00:20:22.720 --> 00:20:23.880
rather face Roger than him.
405
00:20:24.480 --> 00:20:26.240
I wish I knew what to tell you, Tommy, but
406
00:20:26.359 --> 00:20:28.279
I know your dad won't listen to me. You see,
407
00:20:28.319 --> 00:20:29.599
I've tried that this morning.
408
00:20:30.640 --> 00:20:32.400
I guess I'll just have to go through with it.
409
00:20:32.960 --> 00:20:34.720
They are paying us a lot of money, sure, but
410
00:20:34.799 --> 00:20:37.279
all the money in the world wouldn't be come in
411
00:20:38.640 --> 00:20:40.160
mister Batty, have you seen anything?
412
00:20:40.519 --> 00:20:40.680
Oh?
413
00:20:40.839 --> 00:20:43.119
There you are, kid? What's the matter you've been looking
414
00:20:43.119 --> 00:20:46.039
all over the loft for young Fairchild. Here, come on, kid,
415
00:20:46.160 --> 00:20:48.359
the director's and however, we're all ready to shoot the
416
00:20:48.440 --> 00:20:50.119
jungle scene where you're down in the pitbow.
417
00:20:50.160 --> 00:20:51.920
But I'll tell him you'll.
418
00:20:51.759 --> 00:20:54.720
Be right there, and you better hurry. What are you
419
00:20:54.799 --> 00:20:55.480
gonna do, Tommy?
420
00:20:55.759 --> 00:20:57.960
What can I do? It's too late now to get
421
00:20:58.000 --> 00:20:58.319
out of it.
422
00:20:58.519 --> 00:20:59.920
Sure you don't want to tell him you won't do it?
423
00:21:00.359 --> 00:21:04.160
No, I wouldn't dare do that. Well, so long, mister Beatty,
424
00:21:04.240 --> 00:21:05.920
and thanks for talking to me.
425
00:21:05.960 --> 00:21:08.279
Tommy. Would you mind if I came along and watch
426
00:21:08.359 --> 00:21:09.160
you do that scene?
427
00:21:09.440 --> 00:21:12.720
Mine? Gosh, no, if you were there, I don't think
428
00:21:12.720 --> 00:21:13.599
i'd even be scared.
429
00:21:14.279 --> 00:21:30.720
Good boy, Come on, let's go. You got it straight now, Tommy.
430
00:21:30.920 --> 00:21:32.480
All you have to do is walk along the trail
431
00:21:32.519 --> 00:21:34.400
until you fall into the pit, and be sure you
432
00:21:34.440 --> 00:21:36.440
don't act like you know you're gonna fall, understand.
433
00:21:36.920 --> 00:21:41.000
Yes, Oh, don't worry about my Tommy. Mister Sidney, he's
434
00:21:41.079 --> 00:21:42.319
a great little.
435
00:21:42.160 --> 00:21:44.920
Actor, Yes, sir, he's mister Fairchild. If you don't mind,
436
00:21:45.720 --> 00:21:47.599
all right, Tommy, take your place and wait for your
437
00:21:47.680 --> 00:21:51.440
que Yes, oh what a scene. This will be sensational,
438
00:21:51.519 --> 00:21:53.839
Baty I hope that's all it'll be. Oh, why don't
439
00:21:53.880 --> 00:21:56.119
you come off at beatty. The kid's done this a
440
00:21:56.240 --> 00:21:59.000
thousand times. Sorry, fairchild, I just keep forgetting that you
441
00:21:59.119 --> 00:22:01.400
know more about tiger Is than I do. All right,
442
00:22:01.599 --> 00:22:07.079
quiet on the set, everybody, This is a take, okay,
443
00:22:07.240 --> 00:22:12.480
rolling milk fed action. The muscles in my throat tightened
444
00:22:12.480 --> 00:22:14.839
as I watched Tommy start walking along the jungle trail
445
00:22:14.880 --> 00:22:16.920
of the set, straight toward the leaf covered pit where
446
00:22:17.000 --> 00:22:19.759
rush I lay in waiting. He was a trooper. No
447
00:22:19.920 --> 00:22:22.839
outward sign betrayed the turmoil going on within him. He
448
00:22:22.960 --> 00:22:25.440
reached the edge one more step than he crashed through
449
00:22:25.519 --> 00:22:29.599
the brush and disappeared into the pit. Dead silence for
450
00:22:29.680 --> 00:22:32.759
a moment, and then I watched from the edge of
451
00:22:32.799 --> 00:22:34.839
the pit. Tommy had struggled to his feet just as
452
00:22:34.960 --> 00:22:37.519
rush I started slinking toward him. One look at the
453
00:22:37.559 --> 00:22:39.680
big Tiger, and I was convinced he'd reverted to his
454
00:22:39.799 --> 00:22:43.839
jungle instincts suddenly sprang toward Tommy. Stark terror showed on
455
00:22:43.880 --> 00:22:46.200
the boy's face. I could stand it no more. Quickly
456
00:22:46.279 --> 00:22:48.759
I grabbed a chair from out of the sound man. Waity,
457
00:22:48.839 --> 00:22:50.400
what are you doing? You're rolling the whole seat. I
458
00:22:50.480 --> 00:22:53.039
got that kid's gonna be killed. Chair in hand. I
459
00:22:53.240 --> 00:22:55.559
jumped down into the pit just as rush. I'm not
460
00:22:55.680 --> 00:22:57.839
Tommy flat. I jerked the blank gun from my hip
461
00:22:57.920 --> 00:22:59.839
pocket at the same time poking the legs of the
462
00:23:00.079 --> 00:23:03.920
hare at Roger's head. Tell me he got crazy. I
463
00:23:04.119 --> 00:23:06.240
blanked him twice, so I'm back off to the corner
464
00:23:06.279 --> 00:23:08.519
of the pit. Tommy looked up at me, hope, replacing
465
00:23:08.559 --> 00:23:11.279
the mask of here on his face. Rattle his cage door.
466
00:23:11.400 --> 00:23:15.279
Somebody rattle the door. Most big cats associate the rattle
467
00:23:15.319 --> 00:23:18.440
with food. I held my breath. Then I saw Rajah
468
00:23:18.519 --> 00:23:21.440
dash toward the cage and had worked. He disappeared into
469
00:23:21.480 --> 00:23:26.480
the blackness, and the door slammed shut. Tommy, Tommy, are
470
00:23:26.480 --> 00:23:30.599
you all right? I think so, mister baby good. Hey
471
00:23:30.720 --> 00:23:33.680
you up there. Don't just stand around talking. Help us
472
00:23:33.720 --> 00:23:34.559
get out of here.
473
00:23:41.839 --> 00:23:42.000
Now.
474
00:23:42.119 --> 00:23:44.039
You just stay put right there, young man.
475
00:23:44.440 --> 00:23:47.920
Remember what the doctor said, Yes, ma'am, you'll be all right. Tommy.
476
00:23:48.240 --> 00:23:53.960
What's a few scratches after all? Tommy son, can you
477
00:23:54.039 --> 00:23:57.559
ever forgive me a head's? Okay? Dad, It wasn't your fault.
478
00:23:57.839 --> 00:23:59.680
He should have paid some attention to you. Tell me
479
00:24:00.680 --> 00:24:03.319
I should have listened to mister Batty. Here there had
480
00:24:03.359 --> 00:24:07.039
been a selfish old man not dead, don't It's true, Tommy.
481
00:24:08.079 --> 00:24:10.920
And all I can say is I'm sorry.
482
00:24:11.000 --> 00:24:11.200
Boy.
483
00:24:11.440 --> 00:24:15.759
Oh, I'm sure he's forgiven you, mister Fairchild, haven't you, Tommy?
484
00:24:16.039 --> 00:24:16.519
Sure I have.
485
00:24:17.200 --> 00:24:19.200
But I haven't really thank mister Batty yet.
486
00:24:19.240 --> 00:24:21.200
Well. I couldn't have done much good if you hadn't
487
00:24:21.240 --> 00:24:23.640
been such a cool customer down there. Tommy, I want
488
00:24:23.680 --> 00:24:24.119
to thank.
489
00:24:24.039 --> 00:24:27.640
You too, Baby. That was a mighty fine thing you did.
490
00:24:28.119 --> 00:24:31.279
You both might have been killed. I just wish there
491
00:24:31.359 --> 00:24:33.960
was something I could do to show my appreciation.
492
00:24:33.559 --> 00:24:36.640
There is, fair Child. Just promise you'll never make Tommy
493
00:24:36.680 --> 00:24:37.640
go into another animal.
494
00:24:37.759 --> 00:24:37.880
Kit.
495
00:24:38.119 --> 00:24:41.160
Don't worry. I've come to my senses about that. He'll
496
00:24:41.279 --> 00:24:44.200
never go near another tiger as long as hey.
497
00:24:44.359 --> 00:24:48.680
Hey, wait just a minute, Oh, don't I have anything
498
00:24:48.720 --> 00:24:49.319
to say about that.
499
00:24:50.279 --> 00:24:53.240
Now that I've had some real experience and seen how
500
00:24:53.279 --> 00:24:56.279
mister Batty does it, I might just decide to take
501
00:24:56.319 --> 00:24:57.240
it up after all.
502
00:24:57.480 --> 00:25:03.960
Why well, well, Tommy, just remember your many shot, and
503
00:25:04.160 --> 00:25:06.720
if I ever hear you talking there well again, I'll.
504
00:25:06.559 --> 00:25:24.319
Give you the licking of your life. In a moment
505
00:25:24.440 --> 00:25:26.960
Clyde Baby will tell us about our next story. But
506
00:25:27.200 --> 00:25:35.799
first and now, a preview from danger unrehearsed an adventurer.
507
00:25:35.920 --> 00:25:39.880
Clyde will never forget, you know, Harriet, Sometimes I wonder
508
00:25:39.960 --> 00:25:42.119
why I didn't stay in Chilicothe and become a shoe
509
00:25:42.160 --> 00:25:44.680
clerk or something. Now with Empress Lame, i'll have to
510
00:25:44.759 --> 00:25:46.839
use ganges in the new trick. And he's still pretty
511
00:25:46.880 --> 00:25:47.839
nervous with the other cat.
512
00:25:48.039 --> 00:25:50.519
Yes, that's something I wanted to talk to you about,
513
00:25:51.319 --> 00:25:51.799
the new.
514
00:25:51.799 --> 00:25:54.960
Check any wait'll they see this one? Four months I've
515
00:25:55.000 --> 00:25:57.039
worked on it, not counting the time in winter quarters,
516
00:25:57.279 --> 00:25:59.079
and today the public will see it for the very
517
00:25:59.160 --> 00:25:59.559
first time.
518
00:26:00.000 --> 00:26:02.400
You'll have to do that trick today, cried, couldn't it
519
00:26:02.440 --> 00:26:04.640
wait another week long enough for you to rehearse it
520
00:26:04.720 --> 00:26:05.000
some more?
521
00:26:05.200 --> 00:26:07.480
Why, Harriet, you know I've got to do it today.
522
00:26:07.480 --> 00:26:10.119
If you've forgotten the publicity releases, the papers have all
523
00:26:10.160 --> 00:26:13.359
printed that a big surprise is in store for everybody today,
524
00:26:13.599 --> 00:26:16.519
a brand new trick never before seen. Well, there's several
525
00:26:16.640 --> 00:26:19.319
reporters coming out this afternoon just to cover it after
526
00:26:19.400 --> 00:26:20.200
they interview me.
527
00:26:20.480 --> 00:26:21.480
Yes, I know all that.
528
00:26:21.839 --> 00:26:24.359
Well, what's bothering you? Harriet? Why don't you want me
529
00:26:24.440 --> 00:26:24.759
to do it?
530
00:26:25.680 --> 00:26:28.720
I don't know, really, you'll probably laugh at me, but
531
00:26:29.680 --> 00:26:33.559
I have this stange of feelings. Call it woman's intuition
532
00:26:33.720 --> 00:26:39.079
if you will. But oh, that trick is so dangerous, Grid, I'm.
533
00:26:38.960 --> 00:26:55.359
Afraid I should have taken Harriet's warning. Events that followed
534
00:26:55.400 --> 00:26:58.880
proved to be unexpected and terrifying. But then you'll hear
535
00:26:58.960 --> 00:27:09.960
the whole story during our next broadcast. Our stories are
536
00:27:10.000 --> 00:27:12.519
based upon incidence from the career of Clyde Betty and
537
00:27:12.680 --> 00:27:16.000
the Clyde Betty Circus. The Clyde Batty Show is produced
538
00:27:16.039 --> 00:27:19.519
by Shirley Thomas. Crisis on the Set was written by
539
00:27:19.720 --> 00:27:27.359
Robert T. Smith. All names used were fictional, and any
540
00:27:27.440 --> 00:27:31.599
resemblance to persons living or dead is purely coincidental. This
541
00:27:32.000 --> 00:27:33.279

The Clyde Betty Show, The World's Greatest wild animal trainer
20
00:01:13.120 --> 00:01:16.359
Clyde Betty with an exciting adventure from his brilliant career.
21
00:01:16.920 --> 00:01:21.319
The circus means thrills, excitement, snarling jungle beasts. The circus
22
00:01:21.439 --> 00:01:24.280
means fun for young folks and old. But under the
23
00:01:24.319 --> 00:01:26.840
big top you see only a part of the story.
24
00:01:27.319 --> 00:01:30.359
The real drama comes behind the scenes, where five hundred
25
00:01:30.400 --> 00:01:33.959
people live as one family, where Clyde Betty constantly risks
26
00:01:34.120 --> 00:01:37.519
death in the most dangerous act on Earth. This master
27
00:01:37.680 --> 00:01:40.159
of the Big Cats has journey to Africa and India,
28
00:01:40.519 --> 00:01:43.319
hunting down his beast in their native jungle. All of
29
00:01:43.400 --> 00:01:47.439
this is part of the Clyde Betty stories. It is
30
00:01:47.680 --> 00:02:01.560
entitled Crisis. On the set. Winter Quarters is just another
31
00:02:01.599 --> 00:02:04.040
way of saying hard work in the linguo of the circuits.
32
00:02:04.319 --> 00:02:06.760
Instead of a vacation, it means getting ready to put
33
00:02:06.760 --> 00:02:08.439
a bigger and better show on the road for the
34
00:02:08.479 --> 00:02:12.199
coming season. Tents have to be repaired, equipment painted, new
35
00:02:12.280 --> 00:02:15.919
costumes made, a million details taken care of, and in
36
00:02:16.039 --> 00:02:18.120
the case of the animal trainer, he must dream up
37
00:02:18.159 --> 00:02:21.000
and perfect new stunts for his jungle cats to perform.
38
00:02:21.759 --> 00:02:24.199
That's why most any day during the off season, I'm
39
00:02:24.240 --> 00:02:26.439
still have to be found in the steel arena, the
40
00:02:26.520 --> 00:02:31.879
big cage inside the catfarm erro back on that pedestal,
41
00:02:31.919 --> 00:02:37.000
you devil beck Haig the time. Hold it all right, Primma,
42
00:02:37.240 --> 00:02:44.400
come down right here, come on, damp down down, Teddy?
43
00:02:45.159 --> 00:02:48.759
All right, how are you going now? Over Prima? Roll
44
00:02:50.120 --> 00:02:55.159
back up there now hold it, good girl, Primma. I
45
00:02:55.240 --> 00:02:57.280
think that'll do it for today. Open the tunnel gate
46
00:02:57.319 --> 00:02:58.400
and let them back in their cages.
47
00:03:01.479 --> 00:03:02.240
He's about done.
48
00:03:02.280 --> 00:03:04.719
He came out of their clod. Those kat will be
49
00:03:04.759 --> 00:03:06.879
striking for shorter hours if you're not careful.
50
00:03:07.319 --> 00:03:08.639
I didn't know you'd come over her.
51
00:03:09.240 --> 00:03:11.159
I think you'll be interested when I tell you why
52
00:03:11.280 --> 00:03:11.800
I came over.
53
00:03:12.000 --> 00:03:14.840
Oh that's easy, because you're madly in love with me.
54
00:03:16.080 --> 00:03:19.080
All right, I can say. But there's still another reason.
55
00:03:19.680 --> 00:03:22.319
Remember the man from Monarch Studios that talked to last summer.
56
00:03:22.319 --> 00:03:24.520
When we say Los Angeles for sure, what about him?
57
00:03:24.680 --> 00:03:26.840
He's over at the office right now. He wants to
58
00:03:26.879 --> 00:03:29.199
talk some more about that circus picture they want to make.
59
00:03:29.400 --> 00:03:51.120
No kidding, Well, what are we waiting for? Come on? Well,
60
00:03:51.280 --> 00:03:53.960
that's the deal in a nutsheal, Betty, what do you think?
61
00:03:55.719 --> 00:03:57.759
I hardly know what to think, missus Shaeffer, but it
62
00:03:57.840 --> 00:03:59.719
sounds good to me. That is, if we wouldn't have
63
00:03:59.800 --> 00:04:01.840
to be gone too long. I got a lot of
64
00:04:01.879 --> 00:04:03.800
work to do here before the season opened, per.
65
00:04:03.840 --> 00:04:06.639
Sure, we understand that, but this shouldn't take more than
66
00:04:06.680 --> 00:04:09.039
a couple of weeks. To the outside would have given
67
00:04:09.080 --> 00:04:11.080
you more warning. Only with just a few days ago
68
00:04:11.159 --> 00:04:13.319
we decided to go into production on the Circus picture
69
00:04:13.400 --> 00:04:13.719
right away.
70
00:04:14.000 --> 00:04:15.759
When would we have to be out there, mister shaff
71
00:04:16.120 --> 00:04:16.800
Just as soon as.
72
00:04:16.759 --> 00:04:19.560
Possible, and we'd like to start shooting the animal scenes
73
00:04:19.560 --> 00:04:21.680
in a week if we can. Could you get the
74
00:04:21.720 --> 00:04:23.639
animals you use in your act out there that soon?
75
00:04:23.720 --> 00:04:26.759
Baby? I think so. We're used to moving on pretty short.
76
00:04:26.800 --> 00:04:30.199
Note good, good, and I hear the contracts if you're
77
00:04:30.240 --> 00:04:32.480
just signed them right here where the little extras remarked,
78
00:04:33.199 --> 00:04:35.079
how about it, Harriet, okay with you.
79
00:04:35.360 --> 00:04:36.040
You're the boss.
80
00:04:36.360 --> 00:04:37.519
I think it sounds wonderful.
81
00:04:38.040 --> 00:04:40.680
That settles it. Then this may be the best chance
82
00:04:40.720 --> 00:04:43.839
we'll ever get for a vacation for the salary we're
83
00:04:43.879 --> 00:04:48.040
paying you. How can you lud here? You are mister Shaffer.
84
00:04:48.879 --> 00:04:50.800
Eh, here's a copy of the script.
85
00:04:50.920 --> 00:04:52.839
You can look it over on your way to the coast. Yes,
86
00:04:53.000 --> 00:04:55.639
I guess i'd better. I'll probably have more trouble with
87
00:04:55.800 --> 00:04:57.959
my lines than with my tigers.
88
00:04:58.879 --> 00:05:01.360
Clyde Slee, no more fun.
89
00:05:01.680 --> 00:05:05.560
I was sorry the minute. You won't have any trouble
90
00:05:05.639 --> 00:05:09.399
in this picture. Actions will speak louder than words. It's
91
00:05:09.439 --> 00:05:11.680
the way you handle those wild animals that will be
92
00:05:11.800 --> 00:05:12.399
most important.
93
00:05:12.480 --> 00:05:12.680
Hmm.
94
00:05:12.800 --> 00:05:14.360
I just hope they're not camera shy.
95
00:05:14.680 --> 00:05:16.600
Oh, this would be like all home week for them.
96
00:05:17.160 --> 00:05:19.240
Or why do you see what a realistic jungle tet
97
00:05:19.319 --> 00:05:20.879
We've got jungle set right?
98
00:05:21.519 --> 00:05:25.399
Yes, what's the matter. Well, it's sort of hard to explain,
99
00:05:25.560 --> 00:05:28.800
but putting lines and tigers in an artificial jungle is
100
00:05:28.879 --> 00:05:31.839
asking for trouble. It fools them and they report right
101
00:05:31.920 --> 00:05:34.800
back to their jungle ways. I didn't know that. Not
102
00:05:34.959 --> 00:05:37.120
many people do. But a friend of mine was killed
103
00:05:37.160 --> 00:05:39.680
under just those circumstances a few years ago. One of
104
00:05:39.720 --> 00:05:41.879
the best trainers in the business. But he couldn't control
105
00:05:41.959 --> 00:05:44.240
his cats when they were turned loose and those surroundings.
106
00:05:44.720 --> 00:05:47.759
Oh does that mean you won't do it?
107
00:05:47.839 --> 00:05:48.120
Baby?
108
00:05:48.879 --> 00:05:52.519
No? I probably should have my head examined, but I'll
109
00:05:52.600 --> 00:06:07.560
do it and I'll guarantee it won't be dull. We
110
00:06:07.720 --> 00:06:19.399
returned to Clyde Beatty after this message. Now back to
111
00:06:19.800 --> 00:06:23.360
crisis on the set. A week after mister Shaffer's visit
112
00:06:23.439 --> 00:06:26.240
to winter Quarters, the babies found themselves in Hollywood, where
113
00:06:26.279 --> 00:06:28.120
Clyde and his big cats were to appear in a
114
00:06:28.160 --> 00:06:32.519
motion picture. Upon getting comfortably settled, they visit Monarch Studios,
115
00:06:32.519 --> 00:06:35.000
where Clyde has an appointment with the producer of the film.
116
00:06:37.920 --> 00:06:42.439
Yes, mister Goodman, shouldn't that lions camer in, Baby Goodman.
117
00:06:42.879 --> 00:06:43.920
Oh, mister Goodman will see you.
118
00:06:44.000 --> 00:06:48.120
How mister baby, thank you. Just go right on in. Oh, baby,
119
00:06:48.279 --> 00:06:50.879
good to see you. Come in, come in. Welcome to
120
00:06:50.959 --> 00:06:53.720
my Dach Studios. Baby, thank you. Mister down, sit down,
121
00:06:53.839 --> 00:06:56.360
I'm glad you hear baby. A couple of days behind schedule.
122
00:06:56.439 --> 00:06:58.680
Now waiting to shoot the animal sequence. Well I'm sorry
123
00:06:58.720 --> 00:07:01.639
I got here. Just wait, glad you're here. What do
124
00:07:01.680 --> 00:07:03.279
you think of the story? Terrific? Isn't it? Well it
125
00:07:03.360 --> 00:07:05.399
looks fine. I guess. Of course I'm not a great
126
00:07:05.439 --> 00:07:07.639
cast too. You've read the script chief I gave you,
127
00:07:07.680 --> 00:07:09.360
of course, But yes I have As a matter of fact,
128
00:07:09.399 --> 00:07:11.120
I wanted to talk to you. But you understand why
129
00:07:11.199 --> 00:07:13.399
we've got to have Valerie Collins and Marvin Mason play
130
00:07:13.439 --> 00:07:15.800
the leads. Don't You got to have a romantic interest.
131
00:07:15.879 --> 00:07:18.240
You know, public demands it, so we give it to him.
132
00:07:18.600 --> 00:07:21.160
Of course you'll still get feature billing. Well that isn't
133
00:07:21.199 --> 00:07:23.439
what's bothering me, mister Goodman. That's all fine with me.
134
00:07:23.560 --> 00:07:25.240
But I was wondering about the boy who's playing the
135
00:07:25.279 --> 00:07:27.040
part of my kid brother, the one who's supposed to
136
00:07:27.040 --> 00:07:30.759
fight with a tiger. Tommy Fairchild, great kid. You love him, batty,
137
00:07:30.959 --> 00:07:33.319
I don't doubt that, But it's that business where he
138
00:07:33.360 --> 00:07:35.879
wrestles a tiger that's got me stumped. You see, I
139
00:07:35.920 --> 00:07:38.519
wouldn't wrestle any of my tigers myself, let alone have
140
00:07:38.639 --> 00:07:41.480
some sixteen year old doer. Oh that I see. You
141
00:07:41.519 --> 00:07:44.079
haven't been told the details. But he won't be wrestling
142
00:07:44.160 --> 00:07:46.279
with one of your tiger's baby Well, what's he? No? No, No,
143
00:07:46.519 --> 00:07:48.439
he's got one. He's raised from a cub that he's
144
00:07:48.480 --> 00:07:50.720
been wrestling and fooling around with for two or three
145
00:07:50.800 --> 00:07:53.879
years now. That's all taken care of. His father owns
146
00:07:53.920 --> 00:07:56.079
a small menagerie out in the valley used to be
147
00:07:56.160 --> 00:07:58.560
a small time animal trainer himself. I think, well, that's
148
00:07:58.600 --> 00:08:00.639
a little different, all right, But I nothing to worry
149
00:08:00.680 --> 00:08:03.399
about their baby, and then'll make a terrific scene. The
150
00:08:03.519 --> 00:08:05.199
kid will make a good little ect or two. I
151
00:08:05.439 --> 00:08:08.319
don't think you understand, mister Goodman. Don't you see the
152
00:08:08.399 --> 00:08:10.519
fact that he's been wrestling that tiger since it was
153
00:08:10.560 --> 00:08:12.879
a cub doesn't really mean much. You can do that
154
00:08:13.079 --> 00:08:14.879
just so long, But sooner or later, what seems to
155
00:08:14.920 --> 00:08:17.240
be a gentle, lovable cat will turn on you without
156
00:08:17.279 --> 00:08:20.120
warning and try to kill you. Oh come now, baby,
157
00:08:20.560 --> 00:08:23.720
fits not let our imaginations run wild. That sin has
158
00:08:23.759 --> 00:08:26.759
got to stay. Look at this. Your party is in
159
00:08:26.839 --> 00:08:29.920
the jungle, hunting wild animals for the psykis. You're lost
160
00:08:30.160 --> 00:08:32.919
somewhere in the vast South American jungle. Your kid brother,
161
00:08:32.960 --> 00:08:35.840
who's only sixteen, wanders off and falls into the big
162
00:08:35.919 --> 00:08:38.600
pitch you've dug in the trail, And there already in
163
00:08:38.639 --> 00:08:41.759
the pit is this giant Bengal tiger. But mister Goodman,
164
00:08:41.879 --> 00:08:45.000
they don't have Bengal tigers in South America. Why certainly
165
00:08:45.039 --> 00:08:47.039
they do in the script, isn't it you're not going
166
00:08:47.080 --> 00:08:49.240
to argue with one of the best scenario writers in Hollywood,
167
00:08:49.360 --> 00:08:52.960
Do you realize? Rudolf Klemer wrote this, Rudolph had better
168
00:08:53.000 --> 00:08:55.279
read up on his wild animals a bit, mister Goodman,
169
00:08:55.360 --> 00:08:59.080
because there are no tigers in South America, none, you know,
170
00:08:59.200 --> 00:09:01.039
come to think of it. Leave you are right, I
171
00:09:01.159 --> 00:09:03.799
must tell Clement to watch that. Oh well, we'll change
172
00:09:03.840 --> 00:09:07.320
it anyway. The tiger attacks the boy. They wrestle around.
173
00:09:07.360 --> 00:09:10.200
It looks like he'll be killed. Suddenly he tears free,
174
00:09:10.519 --> 00:09:12.360
looks the beast in the eye, and holds his hand up.
175
00:09:12.639 --> 00:09:16.799
The tiger backs off. Hypnotize. Oh what a scene. I'll
176
00:09:16.919 --> 00:09:19.799
admit it sounds interesting, all right. It's a natural baby.
177
00:09:20.120 --> 00:09:22.320
Having that kid and the tiger get the wrestling looks
178
00:09:22.360 --> 00:09:24.279
like a real fight, and the kid has a tiger
179
00:09:24.320 --> 00:09:26.080
train to back off when he gives him a signal. Well,
180
00:09:26.120 --> 00:09:29.159
I suppose it's none of my affair. We're going to
181
00:09:29.200 --> 00:09:30.679
shoot the scene where you do your act in the
182
00:09:30.720 --> 00:09:33.960
arena this afternoon. That's first on the schedule. Maybe you'll
183
00:09:34.000 --> 00:09:35.240
ran to go over and look at the setup on
184
00:09:35.320 --> 00:09:38.279
the sound stage, FoST Yes, i'd like to. My wife's
185
00:09:38.320 --> 00:09:40.600
over there now. Fine, fine, Fine, it's stage number six.
186
00:09:40.679 --> 00:09:41.279
You can't miss it.
187
00:09:41.360 --> 00:09:41.600
Baby.
188
00:09:42.000 --> 00:09:44.600
You'll probably find out director Larry Sidney around there someplace.
189
00:09:44.879 --> 00:09:48.480
If you need anything, just tell him. Thank you, mister Goodman.
190
00:09:48.519 --> 00:10:02.399
I'll go right on over. Sorry, I was so long, Harriet.
191
00:10:02.919 --> 00:10:03.879
You've been having any fun?
192
00:10:04.200 --> 00:10:04.360
Oh?
193
00:10:04.519 --> 00:10:07.600
Loads of it? God, this is all very interesting watching
194
00:10:07.679 --> 00:10:10.039
them picked up the city. It's beginning to look like
195
00:10:10.120 --> 00:10:10.919
a real second.
196
00:10:11.559 --> 00:10:12.320
It is a dad.
197
00:10:12.799 --> 00:10:14.399
Did you have a good talk with mister Goodman?
198
00:10:15.879 --> 00:10:20.039
Terrific, stupendous. I'm afraid he did most of the talking.
199
00:10:21.000 --> 00:10:23.320
By the way, They're gonna shoot the Arena act this afternoon.
200
00:10:23.480 --> 00:10:24.240
Oh so soon.
201
00:10:25.159 --> 00:10:26.960
They don't believe in wasting time, do they?
202
00:10:27.279 --> 00:10:29.600
Apparently not. Have you visited the cats yet?
203
00:10:29.919 --> 00:10:32.000
Yes, I looked in on them a while ago. They
204
00:10:32.039 --> 00:10:34.399
seem to have made the chip in good shape. They
205
00:10:34.519 --> 00:10:37.159
even seem glad to see I hope.
206
00:10:36.919 --> 00:10:39.320
They feel the same way when they say me, pardon me,
207
00:10:39.600 --> 00:10:41.919
aren't you Clyde Batty? Oh yes i am.
208
00:10:42.039 --> 00:10:45.480
I'm Jack Fairchild. Baby, my son Tommy is going to
209
00:10:45.519 --> 00:10:46.279
be in a picture with you.
210
00:10:46.440 --> 00:10:48.440
Oh, I'm glad to know you. This is my wife,
211
00:10:48.519 --> 00:10:49.120
mister Farechaw.
212
00:10:49.279 --> 00:10:52.519
How do you do pleasure, missus. Baby, looks like they're
213
00:10:52.519 --> 00:10:55.320
gonna have a swell picture here, I hope. So you
214
00:10:55.399 --> 00:10:57.480
know you and I have got something in common, baby.
215
00:10:57.919 --> 00:11:00.480
I used to do a little animal work myself years ago.
216
00:11:00.720 --> 00:11:00.840
Uh.
217
00:11:01.399 --> 00:11:04.840
Of course, my training was mostly with chimps, dogs, one
218
00:11:04.919 --> 00:11:07.879
thing and another. I never got famous like you, but
219
00:11:08.159 --> 00:11:09.840
I learned plenty about animals.
220
00:11:09.919 --> 00:11:13.120
If I do jasus, Well, maybe I shouldn't be asking.
221
00:11:13.279 --> 00:11:16.320
But didn't you ever learn that you can't trust any
222
00:11:16.360 --> 00:11:19.159
of them completely? What do you mean by that? I'm
223
00:11:19.200 --> 00:11:21.600
referring to this business of having your son wrestled with
224
00:11:21.679 --> 00:11:23.879
his so called pet tiger. How long do you think
225
00:11:23.919 --> 00:11:25.960
he can get away with that? Oh? Nothing to worry
226
00:11:26.000 --> 00:11:29.679
about from Rajah? Why he and Tom are pills. Tom's
227
00:11:29.759 --> 00:11:32.279
raised you since Raja was just a cough so I hear.
228
00:11:32.399 --> 00:11:34.720
But even so, I'll guarantee no son of mine ad
229
00:11:34.759 --> 00:11:38.000
be wrestling with any tiger. Hey, I believe you're jealous.
230
00:11:37.759 --> 00:11:39.799
Of a kid just because you can't do it.
231
00:11:39.840 --> 00:11:41.600
There's no shine nobody else shoot? Is it?
232
00:11:42.080 --> 00:11:44.799
And after all, we're getting some pretty good money.
233
00:11:44.639 --> 00:11:47.639
For the trick in this picture. We're getting good money.
234
00:11:48.080 --> 00:11:50.759
Well, Tommy is if you want to put it that way.
235
00:11:51.360 --> 00:11:52.960
I don't see how you can begrudge that.
236
00:11:53.279 --> 00:11:55.919
I'm afraid we're talking about two different things, fair child.
237
00:11:56.480 --> 00:11:58.279
I just thought if you weren't smart enough to know
238
00:11:58.399 --> 00:12:01.080
your son's playing with dynamite, it's time somebody told you
239
00:12:01.159 --> 00:12:01.720
you don't have to.
240
00:12:01.720 --> 00:12:04.679
Get so high and mighty about it. Someday my kid
241
00:12:04.720 --> 00:12:07.039
will make your act look like a pink tea party.
242
00:12:07.559 --> 00:12:10.320
You just mind your own business, now, take care of mine, understand,
243
00:12:11.360 --> 00:12:15.320
lovely fellow is though, I'll bet his kid is a
244
00:12:15.360 --> 00:12:17.919
typical smart alect that thinks he knows all the answers too.
245
00:12:19.200 --> 00:12:21.559
Oh well here, yeah I'm wrong. Come on, let's go
246
00:12:21.600 --> 00:12:22.919
grab a bite to eat and then get over to
247
00:12:22.960 --> 00:12:24.679
the dressing room. I still got to get dressed and
248
00:12:24.759 --> 00:12:25.120
ready to.
249
00:12:25.200 --> 00:12:27.840
Act, you know, my but I'm impressed.
250
00:12:28.320 --> 00:12:31.120
Imagine me being the wife of a movie stuff.
251
00:12:42.559 --> 00:12:44.600
Here. Now, how do I look? Oh?
252
00:12:44.840 --> 00:12:50.759
Handsome, dashing, fearless, intrepid and your boots needs polishing?
253
00:12:50.960 --> 00:12:52.879
Oh I was afraid of that. Why couldn't I have
254
00:12:52.960 --> 00:12:55.039
taken up some kind of work where I could go barefoot?
255
00:12:55.480 --> 00:12:57.320
Oh that would be too dangerous.
256
00:12:57.360 --> 00:12:59.159
Dere you might step on a nail.
257
00:13:00.679 --> 00:13:03.120
Come in, are ready to shoot?
258
00:13:03.159 --> 00:13:04.480
Your acts now, mister Beaty.
259
00:13:04.399 --> 00:13:07.200
And you come right over to Stage six. Sure, I'm ready.
260
00:13:07.360 --> 00:13:11.960
Tell him I'm on the way. How the boots look
261
00:13:12.039 --> 00:13:15.279
now much? Well, I'd hate to hold up production the
262
00:13:15.320 --> 00:13:17.399
first day. I better get a move on. You coming,
263
00:13:17.840 --> 00:13:18.679
just try and stop me.
264
00:13:19.320 --> 00:13:21.919
Oh, I hope everything goes perficularly, Oh it will.
265
00:13:22.360 --> 00:13:34.799
This will be just routine. Come on, let's go. Sound
266
00:13:34.879 --> 00:13:37.639
Stage six was a madhouse, people running back and forth
267
00:13:37.799 --> 00:13:39.960
like ants and talking in a language all their own.
268
00:13:40.559 --> 00:13:43.000
But underneath it all was an air of virgin deficiency,
269
00:13:43.159 --> 00:13:46.639
each person doing his job quickly and thoroughly. I wondered
270
00:13:46.679 --> 00:13:49.039
how the big cats would react to the strange atmosphere
271
00:13:49.039 --> 00:13:51.720
into the bright lights on the set, But whatever concern
272
00:13:51.799 --> 00:13:54.159
I felt at first quickly vanished as the animals seemed
273
00:13:54.159 --> 00:13:56.559
to take everything in stride. I worked them for a
274
00:13:56.639 --> 00:13:59.639
few minutes, rehearsing the scene to be filmed. Then the
275
00:13:59.720 --> 00:14:03.600
direct Okay, mister Beatty, we're ready to shoot. You're set already,
276
00:14:03.639 --> 00:14:06.440
mister Sydney. I remember now, when that lion charges and
277
00:14:06.519 --> 00:14:08.120
you run for the safety cage at the end of
278
00:14:08.200 --> 00:14:11.399
the scene, register an expression of fear. You're terrified, afraid
279
00:14:11.440 --> 00:14:13.320
you won't get out in time. That'll be easy. I
280
00:14:13.320 --> 00:14:16.320
won't be acting for that shot. Okay, fire on the set.
281
00:14:16.679 --> 00:14:23.960
This is a take all right room action. For a
282
00:14:24.000 --> 00:14:26.000
few minutes, I forgot about being on a movie set.
283
00:14:26.279 --> 00:14:28.759
Everything was going smoothly. Then I noticed some of the
284
00:14:28.840 --> 00:14:31.360
cats acting more and more surly. Suddenly it dawned on
285
00:14:31.440 --> 00:14:33.440
me they were protesting at the intense heat under the
286
00:14:33.519 --> 00:14:36.320
cleag lights. I realized I'd have to cut the act short,
287
00:14:36.639 --> 00:14:39.519
but I remembered the director particularly wanted the shot of Caesar,
288
00:14:39.639 --> 00:14:42.440
my charge cat, chasing me into the safety cage. I
289
00:14:42.559 --> 00:14:45.440
hurried Slica, the spinning tiger through her trick and killed
290
00:14:45.480 --> 00:14:48.159
Caesar down from his pedestal. He glared at me as
291
00:14:48.240 --> 00:14:51.440
yellowish green eyes flashing and ominous warning. Then before I
292
00:14:51.600 --> 00:14:54.440
was in position, he started to charge. My grip tightened
293
00:14:54.480 --> 00:14:56.960
on the chair as I scurried backward toward the safety cage.
294
00:14:57.240 --> 00:14:59.960
See her back twice. I flanked him as I reached
295
00:15:00.080 --> 00:15:02.679
for the cage door. Then my heart froze. The door
296
00:15:02.799 --> 00:15:14.240
was stuck and I couldn't budget. The Clyde Batty show
297
00:15:14.320 --> 00:15:23.120
will continue in just a moment, And now back to
298
00:15:23.399 --> 00:15:34.919
Clyde Batty and crisis on the set as the camera's
299
00:15:34.960 --> 00:15:37.399
ground on the movie sat Clyde put his jungle performers
300
00:15:37.440 --> 00:15:39.679
through their paces, but after a few minutes he found
301
00:15:39.720 --> 00:15:43.039
them becoming more and more surly and unmanageable. Nothing to
302
00:15:43.120 --> 00:15:45.080
do but cut the act short and give them a rest.
303
00:15:45.679 --> 00:15:48.720
Caesar came down off his pedestal as usual, but started
304
00:15:48.759 --> 00:15:52.120
his charge before Clyde was in position. Quickly, Clyde back
305
00:15:52.159 --> 00:15:54.200
to the door of the safety cage, only to discover
306
00:15:54.320 --> 00:15:57.399
it was stuck tight. It wouldn't much sea get back
307
00:15:58.080 --> 00:16:00.919
to the mighty spring. Caesar hurdle taut, batting the chair
308
00:16:00.960 --> 00:16:03.480
from my grasp. Instinctively, I dropped to the floor and
309
00:16:03.559 --> 00:16:05.799
he flew over my head, crushing into the cage whiles
310
00:16:05.879 --> 00:16:08.799
behind me. I felt a searing staff of pain in
311
00:16:08.879 --> 00:16:10.799
my right arm as he fell almost on top of me.
312
00:16:11.279 --> 00:16:13.159
The crash made him groggy for a second, and I
313
00:16:13.279 --> 00:16:15.919
regained my feet before he did. Quickly, I grabbed the
314
00:16:16.000 --> 00:16:19.399
chair again and charged him, firing blanks and showering Peter,
315
00:16:19.559 --> 00:16:23.159
get back over there. My action took him completely by surprise.
316
00:16:23.240 --> 00:16:28.039
He slunk back to the other side of the arena. Hey.
317
00:16:28.440 --> 00:16:30.519
I snapped back to my senses and raced for the
318
00:16:30.559 --> 00:16:32.879
safety cage. This time, the door opened easily and I
319
00:16:32.960 --> 00:16:34.799
slipped through, slamming a chest behind me.
320
00:16:35.000 --> 00:16:36.759
Oh I thank goodness, you're safeguard.
321
00:16:37.120 --> 00:16:41.120
Oh you're on It's okay here. What was the matter
322
00:16:41.159 --> 00:16:42.279
with that down door? Anyway?
323
00:16:43.080 --> 00:16:45.200
Piece of woodcut webs underneath when you closed it.
324
00:16:45.960 --> 00:16:48.000
I'm glad somebody had sense enough to realize that it
325
00:16:48.120 --> 00:16:50.559
was terrific Baty's sensation. Get your breath now, and we
326
00:16:50.679 --> 00:16:52.720
do a retake of the same thing in a minute retake.
327
00:16:53.320 --> 00:16:55.240
Are you out of your mind? Mister Sidney? I was
328
00:16:55.320 --> 00:16:57.720
nearly killed that time. Huh. Where isn't that the way
329
00:16:57.720 --> 00:17:00.600
you always do it? It certainly isn't get this time.
330
00:17:01.240 --> 00:17:03.799
Oh I'm sorry, baby, I hadn't noticed. If I'm gonna
331
00:17:03.840 --> 00:17:06.079
donate any more blood, it'll beat at the Red Cross.
332
00:17:27.279 --> 00:17:31.359
How does it feel? Not all right? Just a couple
333
00:17:31.400 --> 00:17:34.559
of scratches. Fortunately, did the doctor give you some shots?
334
00:17:34.799 --> 00:17:37.680
Don't they always that? He said?
335
00:17:37.680 --> 00:17:40.119
It's okay, Well, you better get some rest in your
336
00:17:40.200 --> 00:17:44.319
dressing room now. I'm glad mister Sidney didn't insist that
337
00:17:44.480 --> 00:17:45.720
scene be done over again.
338
00:17:45.920 --> 00:17:49.640
Oh my, this is one movie that's gonna be plenty realistic,
339
00:17:50.960 --> 00:17:52.319
and here we are. You're gonna come in?
340
00:17:53.039 --> 00:17:54.640
No, not just now.
341
00:17:55.200 --> 00:17:57.119
You couldn't rest if I were around the heck are
342
00:17:57.160 --> 00:17:59.400
you in? And I think I'll run over to that
343
00:17:59.519 --> 00:18:01.599
set where it's Monica Davenport shooting.
344
00:18:01.839 --> 00:18:05.000
Okay, you run along, dear, I'll see you later. Just uh,
345
00:18:05.519 --> 00:18:08.680
don't talk to any of those dashing, handsome leading men,
346
00:18:08.839 --> 00:18:09.240
that's all.
347
00:18:10.400 --> 00:18:18.200
Don't worry once enough for me, mister Batty.
348
00:18:19.680 --> 00:18:24.480
Well, hello, I I I hope you won't be mad
349
00:18:24.519 --> 00:18:26.720
because I came in your dressing room. Mister Batty, I'm
350
00:18:26.799 --> 00:18:27.599
Tommy Fairchild.
351
00:18:27.799 --> 00:18:29.839
Oh glad to meet you. Tommy, could uh.
352
00:18:29.839 --> 00:18:31.400
Could I talk to you for a minute, mister Beatty?
353
00:18:31.519 --> 00:18:33.519
It's awful important? Well, sure think kids?
354
00:18:33.519 --> 00:18:33.920
Sit down?
355
00:18:34.680 --> 00:18:36.640
Hey, what's the matter with You're wrong?
356
00:18:36.960 --> 00:18:40.319
Mm? That nothing much one of my lines and I
357
00:18:40.400 --> 00:18:42.759
had a little difference of opinion, that's all. He scratched
358
00:18:42.799 --> 00:18:43.759
me a little. Gee.
359
00:18:44.440 --> 00:18:45.759
Oh, I'm sorry, mister Batty.
360
00:18:48.599 --> 00:18:49.480
What can I do for you?
361
00:18:50.119 --> 00:18:52.799
Well, it's it's about about the picture.
362
00:18:53.480 --> 00:18:55.839
I know you'll think I'm a sissy and my dad
363
00:18:55.880 --> 00:18:57.319
would have a fit if you knew I was talking
364
00:18:57.359 --> 00:19:00.640
to you about it. But I don't wanna fight with Roger.
365
00:19:00.440 --> 00:19:01.079
Down in that pit.
366
00:19:01.400 --> 00:19:03.680
Well, this is a surprise. I had a little chat
367
00:19:03.759 --> 00:19:05.480
with your dad this morning, and I thought you were
368
00:19:05.480 --> 00:19:07.079
as anxious to do it as he was to have
369
00:19:07.200 --> 00:19:07.440
you do.
370
00:19:07.920 --> 00:19:10.839
That's just said, mister Batty. The whole thing is Dad's idea.
371
00:19:11.480 --> 00:19:13.799
He always wanted me to be a trainer. That's why
372
00:19:13.839 --> 00:19:15.680
he had me fooling around with Roger since he was
373
00:19:15.759 --> 00:19:19.680
a cub. But I'm getting scared, mister Baty. I don't
374
00:19:19.720 --> 00:19:20.480
want to be a trainer.
375
00:19:20.599 --> 00:19:22.960
Well, at least your honest Tommy. But I don't see
376
00:19:22.960 --> 00:19:24.799
where you've got much of a problem. Just call the
377
00:19:24.839 --> 00:19:25.400
whole thing off.
378
00:19:25.480 --> 00:19:27.440
No, I tried to, mister Baty, but Dad won't listen
379
00:19:27.480 --> 00:19:29.400
to me, he says. I don't know my own mind.
380
00:19:29.759 --> 00:19:30.079
He says.
381
00:19:30.119 --> 00:19:32.000
I ought to be ashamed of myself being scared of it.
382
00:19:32.079 --> 00:19:32.680
Pet tiger.
383
00:19:34.160 --> 00:19:37.079
You want to know something, Tommy, My lions and tigers
384
00:19:37.119 --> 00:19:40.119
aren't what you'd call pets. But I'm scared too plenty
385
00:19:40.200 --> 00:19:40.599
of times.
386
00:19:40.720 --> 00:19:43.640
Gee, no kidding, I never thought i'd hear you say that.
387
00:19:43.799 --> 00:19:45.799
Well, it's nothing to be ashamed of. The day a
388
00:19:45.880 --> 00:19:47.839
trainer thinks he has nothing to be afraid of, will
389
00:19:47.839 --> 00:19:50.880
be the day he stops being a trainer. But what
390
00:19:51.079 --> 00:19:52.519
is it that's made you afraid of Roger?
391
00:19:53.039 --> 00:19:55.079
Well, it's kind of hard to describe.
392
00:19:55.680 --> 00:19:58.039
At first, I like getting in and wrestling around with him,
393
00:19:58.079 --> 00:20:01.279
but gee, he's full grown now, and well lately I've
394
00:20:01.319 --> 00:20:03.119
been scared every time I've gone in his cage.
395
00:20:03.640 --> 00:20:06.400
I got a feeling some days gonna forget we're just playing.
396
00:20:06.599 --> 00:20:08.759
I can see you're a lot smarter about animals than
397
00:20:08.759 --> 00:20:09.319
your dad is.
398
00:20:09.480 --> 00:20:12.160
And worst of all, I think Roger's beginning to know
399
00:20:12.279 --> 00:20:12.799
I'm afraid.
400
00:20:12.880 --> 00:20:15.599
He undoubtedly is Tommy. They're quick to sense it unless
401
00:20:15.599 --> 00:20:16.759
you're mighty good at bluffy.
402
00:20:16.839 --> 00:20:19.519
Well, what can I do, mister Batty? If I tell Dad,
403
00:20:19.599 --> 00:20:22.640
I just won't do it here. Gosh, I guess I'd
404
00:20:22.720 --> 00:20:23.880
rather face Roger than him.
405
00:20:24.480 --> 00:20:26.240
I wish I knew what to tell you, Tommy, but
406
00:20:26.359 --> 00:20:28.279
I know your dad won't listen to me. You see,
407
00:20:28.319 --> 00:20:29.599
I've tried that this morning.
408
00:20:30.640 --> 00:20:32.400
I guess I'll just have to go through with it.
409
00:20:32.960 --> 00:20:34.720
They are paying us a lot of money, sure, but
410
00:20:34.799 --> 00:20:37.279
all the money in the world wouldn't be come in
411
00:20:38.640 --> 00:20:40.160
mister Batty, have you seen anything?
412
00:20:40.519 --> 00:20:40.680
Oh?
413
00:20:40.839 --> 00:20:43.119
There you are, kid? What's the matter you've been looking
414
00:20:43.119 --> 00:20:46.039
all over the loft for young Fairchild. Here, come on, kid,
415
00:20:46.160 --> 00:20:48.359
the director's and however, we're all ready to shoot the
416
00:20:48.440 --> 00:20:50.119
jungle scene where you're down in the pitbow.
417
00:20:50.160 --> 00:20:51.920
But I'll tell him you'll.
418
00:20:51.759 --> 00:20:54.720
Be right there, and you better hurry. What are you
419
00:20:54.799 --> 00:20:55.480
gonna do, Tommy?
420
00:20:55.759 --> 00:20:57.960
What can I do? It's too late now to get
421
00:20:58.000 --> 00:20:58.319
out of it.
422
00:20:58.519 --> 00:20:59.920
Sure you don't want to tell him you won't do it?
423
00:21:00.359 --> 00:21:04.160
No, I wouldn't dare do that. Well, so long, mister Beatty,
424
00:21:04.240 --> 00:21:05.920
and thanks for talking to me.
425
00:21:05.960 --> 00:21:08.279
Tommy. Would you mind if I came along and watch
426
00:21:08.359 --> 00:21:09.160
you do that scene?
427
00:21:09.440 --> 00:21:12.720
Mine? Gosh, no, if you were there, I don't think
428
00:21:12.720 --> 00:21:13.599
i'd even be scared.
429
00:21:14.279 --> 00:21:30.720
Good boy, Come on, let's go. You got it straight now, Tommy.
430
00:21:30.920 --> 00:21:32.480
All you have to do is walk along the trail
431
00:21:32.519 --> 00:21:34.400
until you fall into the pit, and be sure you
432
00:21:34.440 --> 00:21:36.440
don't act like you know you're gonna fall, understand.
433
00:21:36.920 --> 00:21:41.000
Yes, Oh, don't worry about my Tommy. Mister Sidney, he's
434
00:21:41.079 --> 00:21:42.319
a great little.
435
00:21:42.160 --> 00:21:44.920
Actor, Yes, sir, he's mister Fairchild. If you don't mind,
436
00:21:45.720 --> 00:21:47.599
all right, Tommy, take your place and wait for your
437
00:21:47.680 --> 00:21:51.440
que Yes, oh what a scene. This will be sensational,
438
00:21:51.519 --> 00:21:53.839
Baty I hope that's all it'll be. Oh, why don't
439
00:21:53.880 --> 00:21:56.119
you come off at beatty. The kid's done this a
440
00:21:56.240 --> 00:21:59.000
thousand times. Sorry, fairchild, I just keep forgetting that you
441
00:21:59.119 --> 00:22:01.400
know more about tiger Is than I do. All right,
442
00:22:01.599 --> 00:22:07.079
quiet on the set, everybody, This is a take, okay,
443
00:22:07.240 --> 00:22:12.480
rolling milk fed action. The muscles in my throat tightened
444
00:22:12.480 --> 00:22:14.839
as I watched Tommy start walking along the jungle trail
445
00:22:14.880 --> 00:22:16.920
of the set, straight toward the leaf covered pit where
446
00:22:17.000 --> 00:22:19.759
rush I lay in waiting. He was a trooper. No
447
00:22:19.920 --> 00:22:22.839
outward sign betrayed the turmoil going on within him. He
448
00:22:22.960 --> 00:22:25.440
reached the edge one more step than he crashed through
449
00:22:25.519 --> 00:22:29.599
the brush and disappeared into the pit. Dead silence for
450
00:22:29.680 --> 00:22:32.759
a moment, and then I watched from the edge of
451
00:22:32.799 --> 00:22:34.839
the pit. Tommy had struggled to his feet just as
452
00:22:34.960 --> 00:22:37.519
rush I started slinking toward him. One look at the
453
00:22:37.559 --> 00:22:39.680
big Tiger, and I was convinced he'd reverted to his
454
00:22:39.799 --> 00:22:43.839
jungle instincts suddenly sprang toward Tommy. Stark terror showed on
455
00:22:43.880 --> 00:22:46.200
the boy's face. I could stand it no more. Quickly
456
00:22:46.279 --> 00:22:48.759
I grabbed a chair from out of the sound man. Waity,
457
00:22:48.839 --> 00:22:50.400
what are you doing? You're rolling the whole seat. I
458
00:22:50.480 --> 00:22:53.039
got that kid's gonna be killed. Chair in hand. I
459
00:22:53.240 --> 00:22:55.559
jumped down into the pit just as rush. I'm not
460
00:22:55.680 --> 00:22:57.839
Tommy flat. I jerked the blank gun from my hip
461
00:22:57.920 --> 00:22:59.839
pocket at the same time poking the legs of the
462
00:23:00.079 --> 00:23:03.920
hare at Roger's head. Tell me he got crazy. I
463
00:23:04.119 --> 00:23:06.240
blanked him twice, so I'm back off to the corner
464
00:23:06.279 --> 00:23:08.519
of the pit. Tommy looked up at me, hope, replacing
465
00:23:08.559 --> 00:23:11.279
the mask of here on his face. Rattle his cage door.
466
00:23:11.400 --> 00:23:15.279
Somebody rattle the door. Most big cats associate the rattle
467
00:23:15.319 --> 00:23:18.440
with food. I held my breath. Then I saw Rajah
468
00:23:18.519 --> 00:23:21.440
dash toward the cage and had worked. He disappeared into
469
00:23:21.480 --> 00:23:26.480
the blackness, and the door slammed shut. Tommy, Tommy, are
470
00:23:26.480 --> 00:23:30.599
you all right? I think so, mister baby good. Hey
471
00:23:30.720 --> 00:23:33.680
you up there. Don't just stand around talking. Help us
472
00:23:33.720 --> 00:23:34.559
get out of here.
473
00:23:41.839 --> 00:23:42.000
Now.
474
00:23:42.119 --> 00:23:44.039
You just stay put right there, young man.
475
00:23:44.440 --> 00:23:47.920
Remember what the doctor said, Yes, ma'am, you'll be all right. Tommy.
476
00:23:48.240 --> 00:23:53.960
What's a few scratches after all? Tommy son, can you
477
00:23:54.039 --> 00:23:57.559
ever forgive me a head's? Okay? Dad, It wasn't your fault.
478
00:23:57.839 --> 00:23:59.680
He should have paid some attention to you. Tell me
479
00:24:00.680 --> 00:24:03.319
I should have listened to mister Batty. Here there had
480
00:24:03.359 --> 00:24:07.039
been a selfish old man not dead, don't It's true, Tommy.
481
00:24:08.079 --> 00:24:10.920
And all I can say is I'm sorry.
482
00:24:11.000 --> 00:24:11.200
Boy.
483
00:24:11.440 --> 00:24:15.759
Oh, I'm sure he's forgiven you, mister Fairchild, haven't you, Tommy?
484
00:24:16.039 --> 00:24:16.519
Sure I have.
485
00:24:17.200 --> 00:24:19.200
But I haven't really thank mister Batty yet.
486
00:24:19.240 --> 00:24:21.200
Well. I couldn't have done much good if you hadn't
487
00:24:21.240 --> 00:24:23.640
been such a cool customer down there. Tommy, I want
488
00:24:23.680 --> 00:24:24.119
to thank.
489
00:24:24.039 --> 00:24:27.640
You too, Baby. That was a mighty fine thing you did.
490
00:24:28.119 --> 00:24:31.279
You both might have been killed. I just wish there
491
00:24:31.359 --> 00:24:33.960
was something I could do to show my appreciation.
492
00:24:33.559 --> 00:24:36.640
There is, fair Child. Just promise you'll never make Tommy
493
00:24:36.680 --> 00:24:37.640
go into another animal.
494
00:24:37.759 --> 00:24:37.880
Kit.
495
00:24:38.119 --> 00:24:41.160
Don't worry. I've come to my senses about that. He'll
496
00:24:41.279 --> 00:24:44.200
never go near another tiger as long as hey.
497
00:24:44.359 --> 00:24:48.680
Hey, wait just a minute, Oh, don't I have anything
498
00:24:48.720 --> 00:24:49.319
to say about that.
499
00:24:50.279 --> 00:24:53.240
Now that I've had some real experience and seen how
500
00:24:53.279 --> 00:24:56.279
mister Batty does it, I might just decide to take
501
00:24:56.319 --> 00:24:57.240
it up after all.
502
00:24:57.480 --> 00:25:03.960
Why well, well, Tommy, just remember your many shot, and
503
00:25:04.160 --> 00:25:06.720
if I ever hear you talking there well again, I'll.
504
00:25:06.559 --> 00:25:24.319
Give you the licking of your life. In a moment
505
00:25:24.440 --> 00:25:26.960
Clyde Baby will tell us about our next story. But
506
00:25:27.200 --> 00:25:35.799
first and now, a preview from danger unrehearsed an adventurer.
507
00:25:35.920 --> 00:25:39.880
Clyde will never forget, you know, Harriet, Sometimes I wonder
508
00:25:39.960 --> 00:25:42.119
why I didn't stay in Chilicothe and become a shoe
509
00:25:42.160 --> 00:25:44.680
clerk or something. Now with Empress Lame, i'll have to
510
00:25:44.759 --> 00:25:46.839
use ganges in the new trick. And he's still pretty
511
00:25:46.880 --> 00:25:47.839
nervous with the other cat.
512
00:25:48.039 --> 00:25:50.519
Yes, that's something I wanted to talk to you about,
513
00:25:51.319 --> 00:25:51.799
the new.
514
00:25:51.799 --> 00:25:54.960
Check any wait'll they see this one? Four months I've
515
00:25:55.000 --> 00:25:57.039
worked on it, not counting the time in winter quarters,
516
00:25:57.279 --> 00:25:59.079
and today the public will see it for the very
517
00:25:59.160 --> 00:25:59.559
first time.
518
00:26:00.000 --> 00:26:02.400
You'll have to do that trick today, cried, couldn't it
519
00:26:02.440 --> 00:26:04.640
wait another week long enough for you to rehearse it
520
00:26:04.720 --> 00:26:05.000
some more?
521
00:26:05.200 --> 00:26:07.480
Why, Harriet, you know I've got to do it today.
522
00:26:07.480 --> 00:26:10.119
If you've forgotten the publicity releases, the papers have all
523
00:26:10.160 --> 00:26:13.359
printed that a big surprise is in store for everybody today,
524
00:26:13.599 --> 00:26:16.519
a brand new trick never before seen. Well, there's several
525
00:26:16.640 --> 00:26:19.319
reporters coming out this afternoon just to cover it after
526
00:26:19.400 --> 00:26:20.200
they interview me.
527
00:26:20.480 --> 00:26:21.480
Yes, I know all that.
528
00:26:21.839 --> 00:26:24.359
Well, what's bothering you? Harriet? Why don't you want me
529
00:26:24.440 --> 00:26:24.759
to do it?
530
00:26:25.680 --> 00:26:28.720
I don't know, really, you'll probably laugh at me, but
531
00:26:29.680 --> 00:26:33.559
I have this stange of feelings. Call it woman's intuition
532
00:26:33.720 --> 00:26:39.079
if you will. But oh, that trick is so dangerous, Grid, I'm.
533
00:26:38.960 --> 00:26:55.359
Afraid I should have taken Harriet's warning. Events that followed
534
00:26:55.400 --> 00:26:58.880
proved to be unexpected and terrifying. But then you'll hear
535
00:26:58.960 --> 00:27:09.960
the whole story during our next broadcast. Our stories are
536
00:27:10.000 --> 00:27:12.519
based upon incidence from the career of Clyde Betty and
537
00:27:12.680 --> 00:27:16.000
the Clyde Betty Circus. The Clyde Batty Show is produced
538
00:27:16.039 --> 00:27:19.519
by Shirley Thomas. Crisis on the Set was written by
539
00:27:19.720 --> 00:27:27.359
Robert T. Smith. All names used were fictional, and any
540
00:27:27.440 --> 00:27:31.599
resemblance to persons living or dead is purely coincidental. This
541
00:27:32.000 --> 00:27:33.279
