30 min, FS. This act has a great many vey good points, but is also lacking in others that are essential. First of all, it is too long, even cut down from 40 min. to 30. Morris and his men do seem to have such a strong hold on the act that the several stunts follow each other with rapidity and dash such as is necessary in an animal act. Palpable imitations of Berzac’s features, notably the revolving table, were also patent. For all that, there are some very good things in this circus feature. The bear on horseback, for instance, and the dogs doing the high-jumps, were strongly applauded. After it has gone through a month or two of hard work and a constant hammering down in time, this will prove one of the best animal acts on the circuit.
