Motion Picture of Emil Pallenberg, with his wife Catherine and one of his "Wonder Bears" in 1928

biography circus history peggy adler wonder bears



 An avid Charlie Chaplain fan, I learned when writing "Pallenberg Wonder Bears - From the Beginning" that Chaplin's last silent film was titled "The Circus". And so I bought the DVD to add it to my Chaplin collection. Needless to say, I invited my Wonder Bear book collaborator, Dibirma Jean Burnham and her husband over to watch it with me. Since the DVD included bonus features, after the movie was over we decided to watch the lengthy, 1928, silent newsreel footage of the movie's Los Angeles premiere at Grauman's Chinese Theater -- soundless red carpet interviews and all. Well it seems that Grauman ran a stage show called a prologue prior to each screening of the movie. This was not unlike what they once had at New York City's Radio City Music Hall -- a stage show that preceded the feature film. Well the newsreel included each of the acts in prologue taking a bow -- and when it came for the last one, much to our amazement, there were Dib's grandparents, Emil and Catherine Pallenberg and one of their "Wonder Bears"! Thus I copied the newsreel, now in the public domain, edited it down to less that two minutes, added some vintage music and copyrighted the resultant vid. Just follow the link, above, in order to enjoy my vid of the earliest known motion picture of Emil Pallenberg, his wife and one of the bears that he trained in the barn next door to his house in Clinton, Connecticut.

    As a player, I was drawn into the appealing realm of endless winnings with crypto casinos, enticed by the prospect of transparent and equitable gaming. With a blend of enthusiasm and hope, I invested $9,000 in a heavily advertised cryptocurrency casino, eager to experience the excitement of online gambling. Initially, the experience was thrilling. I experienced significant wins, relishing the surge of adrenaline that accompanied each bet and spin. The platform’s polished interface and blockchain-supported fairness features appeared to validate its authenticity, increasing my faith in the system. For a period, everything seemed above board. I had even successfully withdrawn funds, which further strengthened my confidence in the platform. However, on one occasion, when I attempted a larger withdrawal, the system began to display ambiguous error messages. I repeated the process with the same outcome. Perplexed, I contacted the support team. I was confronted with requests for excessive and seemingly unwarranted verification. The support team demanded additional documentation, referencing vague policies and unspecified security concerns. Their replies seemed evasive, and as time passed, my funds remained inaccessible. A growing feeling of unease and betrayal began to take hold. Determined not to become another silent victim, I sought assistance. That’s when I found DUNE NECTAR WEB EXPERT, a team specializing in auditing crypto casinos and recovering funds for players defrauded by unscrupulous platforms. They performed a thorough audit of the casino’s smart contract, and their findings were astonishing. The contract was programmed to block withdrawals once players reached a specific profit level surreptitiously. It was a concealed trap that contradicted the casino’s claims of fairness. DUNE NECTAR WEB EXPERT initiated an investigation and successfully located the individuals responsible for the operation. Their tenacity and expertise were invaluable. Ultimately, I was able to recover $48,500 of my initial deposit, a result I had almost abandoned hope of achieving. My experience served as a valuable lesson. The crypto gaming sector is fraught with hidden dangers, and not every platform is as trustworthy as it presents itself to be. Thorough research is essential, and seeking support from DUNE NECTAR WEB EXPERT is advisable if you encounter Cryptocurrency Fraud.
