Historians might recall Stevens Safari Baboons before the "smoke belching, stage unfolding, traveling primate spectacular. Not sure about Berosini, I think he was a chimp, gorilla, and orangutan guy. Carmen's brother Ervin had a baboon act on RBBB and other shows, often along with his unicycle act.

Berosini had orangs, in a sensational comedy act in Vegas, for a time. The AR people had film of him managing some misbehaving apes backstage, and called it an expose of abuse. Bobby's stardom then quickly faded.

JUST SAW BOBBY LAST WEEK HERE IN LAS VEGAS AND HE LOOKS GREAT. HAS BEEN HAVING A HARD TIME AFTER LOSING HIS WIFE LAST YEAR. HE WON A BIG LAWSUIT FROM THE AR GROUP AND TOOK THE MONEY AND WENT TOO COSTA RICA AND RETIRED !!
