Cycling tricks and comedy. Whiteface makeup.
The program got a fast start with the Cycling Brunettes, a comedy-straight bicycle turn with two men, who cover a whole lot of ground in their respective departments. The comedian really makes fun (without a tramp makeup) and the straight rider holds up his part, though the funny fellow is equally as good in the trick work, his acrobatics in connection being of high grade. He has a neat and new trick in leaving the wheel that brought a laugh every time. Something very rare in comedy cyclists is found in this comedian. It is personality, and he doesn't even require the light grotesque makeup in white face he is using. The act should go in as an opening turn on the big time bills.
