One of the former Patty Brothers performs head-walking down a flight of stairs, and the reviewer calls it a "sensation."
"How Patty can do it and live is beyond explanation. The steps are quite wide apart, and he flops from one to another in short jumps. Not alone the strain on his neck must be terrific, but he maintains his balance and is still sensible at the finish."
"He could become an attraction on any bill with it, as a sensational turn - if he lasts that long. To take a chance on your neck breaking is something in show business, but to take that same chance and open a show."
