In August 1911, M. Nederveld and his monkey "Seppel" were performing at the Orpheum in Oakland.

A quick Google search found M. Nederfeld and his simian jockey, Neppel in vaudville theaters.

In New York Clipper News, of April 15 (no year given) he was at Majestic Theater in Milwaukee, WI. In Goodwins Weekly for Sept 16, 1911 p16 he was in Salt Lake City. Didn't find him in San Francisco.

I found mention of the Nederveld act in the San Francisco Call. The SF Call is available online at the California Digital Newspaper Collection.
