The Band Shell was an open-air performance space that replaced the old north bandstand in 1920. Built in the north end of the park,[1][2] between the Swimming Pool and the Whirlwind,[3] 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.[4] It was a free attraction at the park.
The Band Shell was replaced with a larger one for the 1932 season.[5]
