Traps The Wonder Boy, Brisbane 1925

Posts: 3467 Threads: 116

Hi, as per my previous post, I have found quite a few articles & ads from Historic press publications in OZ. I guess you would all know who "Traps The Wonder Boy" turned out to be. This clipping is from 1925 The Wintergarden being a theatre opened in 1924 In Brisbane OZ. Traps spent six months in Oz working in his parents show... I thought this to be worthy of a slot on VDF.

Cheers

John

( Note, the review says he was 5 years of age but in fact he was 7-8 in 1925)

"Traps, The Drum Wonder" more correctly, as that is how he was usually billed. Bernard "Buddy" Rich would have been 8 years of age in 1925 having been born in September 1917. Regardless... still quite impressive at that age, and as for the rest, well... legendary!
