Singing.
Man and woman. Songs, a little dancing, slack wire feats and some juggling of Indian clubs and divers articles constitute the work of this pair, with the man doing the greater part of the turn through his wire balancing and the juggling. The woman hasn't much of a voice but holds attention on one number alone when in abbreviated attire. She throws a mirrored light on male faces out front, ,lyrical construction of song working in harmony with the illumination. She also acts as a helper during the wire routine. The man is rather heavy to be doing risky wire work, but at best is graceful and goes through his routine most successfully. His "split" unicycle riding and the swinging without any balancing medium save his own physical equilibrium are the best stunts on the wire. Act was well received at the American and opened the show nicely.
