Unknown said...: I remember Jenda and Tony both at the CWM in the early sixties. Jenda also owned Gus Augsberg's Friends for a time. Another great stage act with a monkey and a baboon sitting at a table for tea and bananas. He would tell the one primate not to steal any more bananas or he would be decapitated. Then he said to the audience, "He doesn't know what that means". With that the monkey grabbed his own head like he was ripping it off.

I believe Jenda's wife had the act in Vegas. Someone may have more dope on that act.
