[New Act] Gymnast, 10 mins; full stage (special hangings). Hurio is a classy gymnast of exceptional strength. He works off the floor entirely, using a high pedestal as a starting point. Upon the pedestal at first he does a posing. Hanging close to the stand is a single ring upon which he performs his first gymnastic exhibition. Some distance down stage hang a pair of regulation rings. Hurio leaps from his pedestal to them. The stunt is pretty and it looks a lot easier than it is. He drops to the floor several times but always reaches the rings from the pedestals. Heavily musculated, neat in appearance and performance, Hurio adds something by dressing his act with velvet hangings. Good opening turn.
