Perry, Charles - from hotel manager to lion tamer
Source: Crawfordsville Star Feb 22, 1883 p1
Charles Perry, runner of the Robbins House will act as lion tamer with Adam Forespaugh next spring. He will ride in the procession inside the same cage with blind “Mose” the ancient lion with the circus. Mose is minus teeth and eyes and will also have his toe nails pared before our handsome Perry will consent to sit in the cage with him.
