Semon’s Chimps

This was one of my favorite chimp acts.  Semon had a smooth and well performing chimp act.  The thing about having a chimp act is you never get tired of working the act or watching them. Any chimp trainer will tell you that there  is a connection between man and the ape. What makes it interesting to watch them is that you can read what they are thinking, especially when they are getting readyto nail you. However this does not happen often, they are doing what comes naturally to them. Once the conflict is over it’s love and kisses again………….. Kind of like being married.

    Does anybody know what became of this act? I know after they left Hubert Castle they went on to the Vargas show for some years but then I lost track of them. I remember them well, have thought of them often, and would just like to say hello…
