Monkey tricks.
It started the show rather slowly. The monk does all the stereotyped tricks with the exception it appears to be an easy going, good natured sort of an animal who seems to enjoy his work. The hit with the push-o-mobile is new. At the finish the monk rides a high cycle on which an American flag is draped and a stuffed eagle is fastened. The showing of the colors takes away the punch from the trick. Animal acts might know by this time the display of the flag the boys fought for is not in good taste when used for a monkey.
