Claude Ranf delivered a sincere, workmanlike slack wire act, with a particularly effective opening. When the drop in one goes up he is seen seated at a table apparently suspended in midair. The impression gained by the audience is that it is an illusion act, When the lights go up it is seen that the table and chair are balanced on a slack wire. The rest of the routine is brisk and effective.
