She makes an excellent impression upon her first appearance, thanks to a shapely figure, admirably set off by tight knickers and loose blouse, and more than an average share of personal attractiveness.
Opening with a Spanish dance, which in itself is a decidedly interesting performance, she goes to the swinging trapeze, and works through a rapid and varied routine of striking feats. The feats themselves, are new and interesting, but it is the polish of style and speed of execution that make the offering distinctive. There is no killing of time through the common device of fondling a handkerchief, posing and bowing thanks for applause.
Miss Ballerini is busy, entertaining her audience every minute she has the stage. The trapeze is kept moving in a wide swing almost continuously, and there is practically none of the usual evolutions on the motionless bar. The closing feat is an unsupported balance on the shoulders while the bar is swinging through a long arc.
