As a circus guy with ties to theatre, I noticed his ads in the trades. Morris Costume carries a full range of selections for the professional.

Chic, didn't Ringling Brothers have a "Gorilla" act, the name was something like "Monastrut?" in the late sixties?

Yup it was "Monastyruk" an aerial routine

Maybe in the 70s (whoever you are)

Phil was a great guy , He provided the specs for Tommy H. for many years, actually ,probably alot more. We stopped at his costume shop many times. He also showed up at many shows near and far...Like I said , He was a great guy.

Monastyruk was on the Blue Show

from 74 through 76 (3 years)

Few remember him or about him
