This is where TRAPEZE was filmed. The movie is on YouTube, and extensive information on this old building can be studied on the net, and especially on their website.

Look for impressive history on this building, and many others in Europe, in the current BANDWAGON. The entire issue is dedicated to expertly rendered articles on European shows, and covers Buffalo Bill's tours over there.

Rudi & I played in this wonderful Circus building with our chimp act for six weeks in 1964/65 winter season, our chimp truck was parked on the right-hand side of the building.

When we look back on the great Circuses that we played with our act in Europe as well as over here in USA we certainly have had a wonderful career.
