The North Bandstand, sometimes called the Aerodrome was an open-air performance space that replaced the old bandstand in 1910.[1] Built in the north end of the park,[2] between Fair Japan and the Whirlwind, it had seats for over 1,000 people and showed concerts, moving pictures, illustrated songs, Franz Rangler's troupe of twenty Tyrolean singers, and more. It was a free attraction at the park.[3][4]
For the Fourth of July 1910, people on the grand stage of the band shell read round-by-round progress of the historic Jeffries-Johnson fight over a special wire ran to the park for the event. Vaudeville and moving pictures were also shown that week.[5]
Free motion picture shows were shown at the band shell each evening in 1913.[6]
The North Bandstand was replaced with a Band Shell for the 1920 season.
