Raffin’s Monkeys

Location:
Theater:
Date:
18 min. F.S. 2 shows. On at 7:39. Same act as before practically, only better, because on the previous occasion Raffin had lost a couple of monkeys. On this visit he had the full compliment of eight or nine. Did the regulation barrel-jumping, trapeze work, tight-rope walking, etc, winding up with the disrobing act on the trapeze, and the high jump into a mat. Monkeys playing around on stage created a good deal of side laughter. The act is especially pleasing to the children.
