Frank Shields, the lariat expert woke them up In third position and closed with his ladder and fall stunt to much noise. He does a buck with a lariat spinning, another dance with two ropes in motion, and a series of stunts with a rope while mounted on a large ball. For a finish he mounts a ladder and spins a rope while maintaining his equilibrium, to end with a sort of a Melrose fall.
Good opener anywhere.
