Manola

Closing the show was Manola on the tight wire stretched very high as wirewalkers use them nowadays on the stage. Manola has an "acting opening." He is asleep, soused, upon a bench. A policeman drives him off when he falls across the loose wire which is then drawn high and taut with Manola hanging over it. But little loose wire work is done, and that only the wide swing. Manola's best is a back hand-spring and later, a full somersault made to look very effective through the height of the wire. He was a good closing turn for the Roof.
