4 men 2 women. Special and elaborate plush drop and drapery in F.S. Time 11. Greatly curtailed apparatus. While this unquestionably a great act in neatness and speed of execution, we were greatly disappointed in what they showed Monday, knowing the great things they did for William Morris. Instead of using two trapezes and a center stand as they did for Morris and as they still indicate in a drawing on their advance material, they used two stands for “hangers” who did rather simple casting work. The excellent comedy of the clown and the lightling [sic] twists of one of the acrobats saved the act from being an out and out disappointment.
