11 minutes F.S. This act introduces May Wirth a real equestrian, and carries a lot of excess baggage as far as relatives are concerned. May Wirth is clever and does some sensational riding tricks. Her act is marred by the sad acting of a very bad clown (relative) and the care back dancing of a girl, whi [sic] has an “invisible” wire attached to her which can be seen half a mile away (also a relative) and a ring master who can’t crack a whip (also relative) Without this trio of hangers-on the act will go bigger that at present.
