Monkey village scene and baboon tricks.
After the usual pictorial weekly had been show, Norris' Baboons held the stage, working before the stereotyped monk village scene. One baboon on stilts provided something away from the ordinary, but on the whole the turn needs general strengthening, particularly since it seems Norris has the available material. The finale, showing the matrimonial ceremony and the retirement of the couple, provides a good laugh, but more than this is needed to project this specialty among the best of vaudeville's animal acts.
