11 min. F.S. This act strongly possesses the audience right from the first. Their paraphernalia is showman-like and their costuming brilliant. They lose no time and get right to work, all four of them on the double wire—two men and three women. Do all sort of stunts, such as turning hand-springs, jumping rope on the wire, etc. The feat of jumping from one parallel wire to the other has never been here before and gets a big hand. The girls are very pretty and altogether an act that is thoroughly novel and pleasing. Every one of their feats got big applause. The closing with ground-tumbling gets a strong hand.
