Sie Hassan Ben Ali's whirlwind acrobats have their pyramid building moving much more rapidly than at first and get through with it sooner, having now more time for the tumbling at the finish.
It held the Orpheum audience spellbound to the curtain, and this in the closing position.
No faster ground work has been seen in vaudeville than that of the Hassan troupe. The ten men put more actual whirlwind action into the seven minutes of the closing than could twice the number doing any other style of tumbling.
