‘London fireman ladder act.’ 10 min, FS, 2 shows. On at 7.25. This is a very novel athletic act and should have a good place on any bill. Man appears in costume of London fireman. Climbs up a ladder twenty rounds high, balancing himself and disrobes, disclosing a brilliant athletic costume. Proceeds to do various stunts in this high perch. His is a very nervy act. The feats consist of playing mandolin, juggling rings and balls, and each one commands good applause. Went off to a very strong hand for an act of this kind. It is evident that its novelty and daring appeal strongly.
