Monkey Island, "Have some peanuts Harry"! From the motion picture "The Greatest Show on Earth" ! I still remember going there with my Dad in March of 1955, I was 7 years old. We were visiting my Great Aunt in Tampa, my Dad and I got up early one morning and drove down, Somethings you never forget and that is one I never will !

RJR,
Did you not mention at some point in the past that one of the Hagenbecks designed this monkey exhibit?

They only put up two poles? Other WQ Big Top shots have all poles used that year. Bradna writes the home top had entrances and exits corresponding to those of MS Garden, thus was used, as in DeMille's pic, as the "practice top".
