The Wild Man of Borneo

Contingure, hundreds of dramatic behind-the-scenes adventures are all part of the Clyde Beatty story. Here is the story of the Wild Man from Porneo. We circus folks are constantly on the move. The show picks up and travels almost every day while on tour.

On the few occasions that find us in a larger town for two or three days, we get to enjoy sleeping without the jolting of a Pullman. A few years ago, Harriet and I were snug and comfortable in a hotel for a change.

Who is it? It's Clarence. Clarence Hill and brother, have I got some skills? Hold it, hold it. Look, what's the idea calling me at this time of the night? I'm telling you, I got something sensational for your show.

Oh, here's something sensational for you. Two o'clock in the morning. What's the matter with that guy's spectacular sensational? I'm going to roll it down to the phone climb. Clarence Hill. You know, that fast talking animal agent.

Oh, thought he was in the morning, oh, or something. Did he go along differently? If that Sharpie had been more than a Nichols' worth away, he'd have reversed the chart. Maybe you shouldn't have come up on it.

No, hang him from the center pole if he wakes me up again. Maybe he doesn't have something important to show you. He'll have to wait a little while. Look, this is the first time in six weeks we've had a chance to sleep in a hotel instead of a poleman or a trailer.

I have time, and this bed feels good. Nice, dear. Nice. Oh, no! We like getting my hands on that guy. Now don't be hasty, dear. Why do they have to have the phone clear across the room? A man could freeze his feet.
