From the first stage play to feature a chimpanzee as a character back in 1801 to the present-day popular film franchises of '\u003cem\u003eKing Kong' \u003c\/em\u003eand '\u003cem\u003eThe Planet of the Apes'\u003c\/em\u003e, many actors have played apes and gorillas - some rising to stardom earning top money, others coming to a sadder and more tragic end. Men-in-fur like the ill-fated Parsloe who fell from fame in London to suffer an early and lonely death in America, the irascible almost legless trouble-maker Hervio Nano, Teasdale who found God in prison after stabbing his wife, and the simpleton East End potboy who was transformed into Monsieur Gouffe attracting the \u003cem\u003ebon ton\u003c\/em\u003e of London and making a fortune. Within these pages you will find some of the oddest, most unfortunate, ill-requited, and doomed performers who ever chose to tread the boards - the artistes known as 'man-monkeys'.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 234\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.49 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 01, 2017\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47180599034105,"sku":"9780956501370","price":23.02,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/bmJtQ1c5aU13Q3g3a0hKOElXTzlYZz09.webp?v=1767740848","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/man-monkeys-from-regency-pantomime-to-king-kong-paperback","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
