The acrobatics are sacrificed for the most part to make room for the comedy and the two trick dogs. Whether this is good judgment remains an open question. The comedy is of the "rough house" order, but a good brand. The comedian makes several first rate falls, following a style of his own without infringing. The dogs go through their routine quickly and with very little coaxing, but too much time is spent with them in the main portion of the act. They should be used for the finish in one only.
Both, the comedian and the "straight" man seem to be good tumblers, and the time now given over to the dogs could be used to advantage in this way. With a little changing about, and three or four minutes' cut, the act will do nicely anywhere.
