In the circus where there are always thrills, action and danger. Hundreds of dramatic behind-the-scenes adventures are all part of the Clyde Beatty story. Here is the story of the Marvelous Marvin's. The circus was playing Charleston, North Carolina, when a crisis to very small crisis occurred.

I found myself playing the role of a lonely heart-sex expert, a role I was soon to learn, for which I had absolutely no talent. What started out to be a tiny problem of one of my tiny performers quickly developed into a large headache for all of us.

I had just finished my act, and Harriet and I were heading for our dressing room. Well, card, another day, another two-four months. Two performances, Harriet. Don't forget to matinate. Oh, that's right. Oh, am I tired?

Honey, why didn't you just go on to bed after you finished your turn? What? And then just talk around wondering if one of your cats was going to rip you to shred? Oh, you'd rather be there to see it, eh?

Clyde! Well, honey, I must admit I wouldn't feel right out in the arena without you standing by. You've done your act thousands and thousands of times, but every time you go on, I die a little.

How do you think I feel when you put Prymba and anime through their faces? My act has only two animals. You're in there with three dozen. Yeah, but you're two were a tiger and an elephant.
