Man Eater of Burma

The Clyde Beatty Show! The greatest wild animal trainer Clyde Beatty with an exciting adventure from his brilliant career. The circus means thrills, excitements, snarling jungle beasts. The circus means fun for young folks and old, but under the big top you see only a part of the story.

The real drama comes behind the scenes where 500 people live as one family, where Clyde Beatty constantly risks death in the most dangerous act on earth. This master of the big cat has journey to Africa and India, hunting down his beasts in their native jungle.

All of this is part of the Clyde Beatty story. It is entitled, Man-Ether of Burma. Many men find the routine of their business often becomes boring, leading them to seek excitement in other fields. But when a man's business is wild animals, excitement, danger and adventure are everyday occurrences.

One such adventure for Clyde Beatty started in far off Rangoon, Burma, a couple of years before the war. Yes, Harriet and I and our business manager Phil Donovan were stopping over in Rangoon and route to the province of Bengal, India, where we were hoping to capture some young tigers.

We disembarked from a small coastal steamer, and an ancient taxi finally transported us safely to the centre of Rangoon. This is trying to hotel side. Come on Harriet. Phil, this is as far as we go for now.

How much drivers? Foro, think that. Here you are. See that the bearer brings in our bags, will you? Sir, I'm sad. It will be solved. Alright folks, let's go in. So this is the Strand Hotel.

The way you've been talking, guide, I expected something like the Waldorf. I just hope they have a bathtub in the place. Oh, I can promise that, alright. I wish you could promise some air conditioning too.
