Poseurs and Athletes. 11 min. F.S. 2 shows. An athletic act of rare novelty and interest. The men in flesh tights begin with a series of poses against a dark background and with an effective surroundings up stage. They then come down from their mimic stage and go through a series of feats requiring prodigious strength rather than agility, the act being a little slow and without comedy relief. However, they make such a superb appearance and are such fine specimens of the Continentally-trained strong-man than their novel feats get good wherever placed.
