[New Act] Contortionists. 8 mins; one (1); Full Stage (7). Stryker makes a bluff at singing a song in “one” and goes immediately to full stage for some contortioning on a pedestal. He does a dislocation, passing a narrow bar over his frame and follows with a back bend and twist picking up and drinking a glass of liquid in the twisted posture. Stryker then dons his discarded hat and coat and effects a nonchanlant exit. The act lacks variety and aside from his contortioning. Stryker’s stage deportment and lack of showmanship ruin the general affect. The opening discarded. It contains neither originality nor merit. His routine of stunts could be lengthened out unless he was cutting under ordered. A fair small time opener.
