Rudi, Pepe & Buttons

Photo courtesy of Sue Lenz



Another great photo of Leon "Buttons" McBryde (whose height I intentionally exaggerated in my earlier post) from one of all-time my favorite acts Sue Lenz of the the Rudi Lenz Chimps...

Hi:
As you had some nice pictures of Buttons yesterday, I thought you might like to see the enclosed attachment of Buttons playing cards with my husband, Rudi Lenz and one of our chimpanzees (Pepe) taken in San Diego with Ringling Bros, Barnum & Bailey Circus in the early 1970's
Regards.
Sue.

Somewhere I have a photo from the mid-sixties of the Three Stooges with the Rudi Lenz Chimps taken at an LA Shrine or a Dobritch date. I have to dig that out...
