The Band Shell, sometimes called the Aerodrome was a performance space that replaced the old bandstand in 1910.[1] Built in the north end of the park,[2] between the Swimming Pool 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.[3] It was a free attraction at the park.[4][5]
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.[6]
The Band Shell was replaced with a larger one for the 1932 season.[7]
