Act composed principally of work done by trained rats with slight assistance from a couple of cats and dogs. I was very adverse to playing this act on account of feeling that it would be offensive to most people. I cannot say that I watched it with much appreciation myself because I have a great horror of reptiles and things that creep but the fact remains that it is a great novelty and is not as offensive as it would seem from the advertising. The act got considerable applause. 13 minutes. F.S.
