Gillette’s Dogs and Monkeys

Location:
Theater:
Date:
Type:
Special set, full stage, 8 minutes. The act shows a minature [sic] street scene in which dogs and monkeys carry abut [sic] a melodrama without the appearance of their trainer at any time during the act. The animals are remarkably well trained and one dog that does ‘A Drunk’ makes as big a hit as I have ever seen in vaudeville. This whole act is a continuous scream.
