's INSPIRATION ERTAINMENT and ETHING TO THINK ABOUT one of YOUR PROGRAMS
Some Recent Comment
Exceptionally entertaining, Al Priddy's address went over splendidly with our audience of six hundred.
ROTARY CLUB of CHICAGO
Of all the lectures we have booked in the past thirty years, few have given us a happier balance of showmanship and educational value than those presented by Al Priddy.
BUREAU of LECTURES UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN
He certainly was a knock-out. His talk was excellent, but his rapid-fire reply to questions was still better.
ADVENTURER'S CLUB, Chicago
BIG TOWN STUFF
Writes Gene Morgan in the Chicago Daily News,
To learn about animals from him—Al Priddy of the Big Tops, who told fascinating and factual yarns about Jungleland To be thrilled while he recalled incidents of animal sagacity.
NOT SO DUMB!

That Circus Man
AL PRIDDY discusses an age-old question ★CAN ANIMALS THINK?
Based on many years experience with circuses here and abroad including AL G. BARNES • JOHN ROBINSON'S • HAGENBECK-WALLACE RINGLING BROS. and BARNUM & BAILEY
★ One of the seventeen AL PRIDDY lectures
We are glad to recommend AL PRIDDY'S Stories of Circus Life and Animal Training as being authentic, says Geo. F. Meighan of the RINGLING BROS. and BARNUM & BAILEY COMBINED SHOWS. His many seasons with our Circuses—and others before coming to us—in various capacities, back on the Show and on the advance staff, have given him abundant opportunity to gather truthful material for his interesting and instructive talks. By reason of his training ability and experience AL PRIDDY is well qualified to speak on any phase of the Circus—its people—and its animals.
