Beatrice Dante did a lot of night club work and date where big chimps could be a problem. She sold some chimps to Mike Kostial at the St. Louis Zoo when they got to be about 7 or 8. They were well trained and often stayed in show business for another 5 0r 6 years.
Beatrice Dante [Madam Fifi] was one of those tall stuesqe Rinling North showgirls and she got Art Eldridge to train the Chimp act for her and was with us in Disneyland Mickey Mouse Club Circus in 54 with one chimp left that walked stilts in spec. Quite a gal to say the least.
