Meet the Chimps
Three chimpanzees, travelling with their owner-trainer, Mr Allan Horobin, have created tremendous amusement in the Motueka district in recent weeks. The chimps are highly-trained and their antics have been enjoyed by thousands of children and adults wherever they have performed.
Rita, Casey and Charlie Brown with Mr Horobin take time off for a cup of afternoon tea

Rita seeking applause at the Motueka Convent was not disappointed in the response.
"A tune? Sure, but what'll I play?"
"Oh yes, something to fit my mood."
"I'm told I've an exquisite touch"!
"Who pinched middle C?"

And what did the children think of their antics - look and see.
"Hey Charlie, Fred Hamilton doesn't grow a bad line of baccy, does he?"
