| Description: | OUR BILL Performing chimpanzee does various tricks and stunts. Chimpanzee wearing baggy polka-dotted overalls rides a bicycle, zig-zagging back & forth around a row of US flags. Next Bill the chimp walks on tightrope carrying parasol. Bill walking on large ball -- first he walks around the room then up a ramp w/ a sharp corner, then along a see-saw which takes him down to some semi-steps built onto the ramp, keeping his balance all the way! Young chimpanzees rolling around on the grass; a man goes running by in BG, followed by Bill(?) MCU a different ape sitting; human hand reaches over and gives him a doll, rather like a kewpie doll. He takes it and holds it in his arms as if it is a beloved child. | |
