12 min. F.S. 3 shows. This is an excellent three-a-day act, and one particularly interesting so the children, in fact, interesting to everybody. The ape is certainly marvelously trained, and seems to have a strong sense of humor. He plays cards, smokes a pipe, walks the tight-rope and does other simple stunts in a manner that brought many laughs and certainly holds the interest throughout. The ape is not as large as Bostock’s “Esau” was, but it seems to have far more intelligence. Good applause at the close.
