After a double head stand with the trapeze swinging and with the boys not holding was good for more applause. The closing trick on special whirling bars, also without holding, let them finish to solid applause.
These two boys have a novelty head balancing routine which they work double after the first head-to-head stand is offered on the stage. They then take to a double trapeze and do head stands on the bar, and while there smoke a cigarette and take a drink. This won something from the late stayers. ... The act deserves better than the closing spot because of its thrill and novelty.
