The act consists of five members, four males and a female. They open snappy, but the real work does not begin until they start their routine on twin tight wires. They perform headstands, head-to-head bridging and other tricks normally performed by ground acrobats. They close with a triple be one of the boys. One of the members of the troupe jumps from a pedestal to the end of a balanced ladder on the opposite end of which the boy for the triple is poised. The latter is propelled by the compact to the height of the proscenium arch and performs the triple in dropping into a basket-like arrangement which is held on the shoulders of a third member.
The act was heartily applauded in the closing position.
