Reviews: [Variety, 16 February 1907, page ?] Probably no event of like nature ever attracted such world-wide interest or gave room for more fun than the recent charge against one of the world’s greatest tenor singers of pressing his attentions upon a lady visitor at the monkey house in Central Park, New York. The picture, while taken under similar circumstances, is a burlesque on the original and full of wholesome mirth. The scene opens with a general view showing some of the most interesting attractions of Central Park’s menagerie. Arriving at the monkey house, a young woman and a boy are seen watching the stunts of the monkey family. The approach of the distinguished looking gentleman and his uninvited attentions to the lady, followed by his arrest, makes this a comical production.
