8 min. F.S. 2 shows. This is nothing short of a phenomenal acrobatic balancing act. The men do all the stunts that are commonly done by head-and-hand balancers, and a great many more. Work is plain shirt-sleeves. Head-to-hand balancing is done without caps, (a remarkable feat indeed), excepting the one feat where on twirls on the other head to head. They are fine looking men and prepossess the audience at once and throughout the act. The closing feat was one that was so profoundly difficult and new [sic] that it won immense applause and a curtain call. A great act for anywhere.
