Late of the Hippodrome production, Slayman Ali's Arabs run through a fast repertoire of ground tumbling and pyramid work, all dressed uniformly with no particular individuals standing out. In the pyramid groups, two of the understanders hold an even dozen men each, this being the feature stunt in that section. The aggregation wind up the turn with the conventional whirling around the stage accompanied by the harmonious screams of "Allay," etc. It's a good fast turn of its kind, but it simply sets one wondering if there is anything else an Arab can do besides tumbling and screaming.
