The monkey of choise for an organ grinder was a South American Capuchin (named for the black markings on the head that reminded the Spanish of a Capuchin monks tonsure)just as it is today for those training monkeys to help the handicapped, because they are extremely smart and trainable and do not become super aggressive as most other monkey's do.(no coin for the organ grinder who's monkey bites you; or pees in you eye)
The Murders in Rue Morgue were commited by a trained orangutan not a monkey.
But all of the old movies I ever saw the monkey was wearing a bellboy's hat, not Fez. (Fez is a character on That Seventies Show)
Now what is the origin of the bell boy's hat and what secret society do they belong to?
