Presented by the Mirano Brothers. 5 minutes f.s. Special set. This is one of the biggest aerial novelties we have ever played. The men work at opposite ends of a revolving 20-foot steel cross bar, suspended at the top of a 30-foot steel structure, shaped to resemble the Eiffel Tower. One sits in a torpedo-shaped car, with propeller, while at the opposite end is a trapeze from which the other performs various stunts while the apparatus is revolving rapidly in midair. The act is backed by a cyclorama 90 feet long. The turn is very spectacular
