The act was ten minutes long on the full stage.
Mysterious Edna is introduced by a “lecturer” and does a levitation act in front of a black background. The footlights are fully illuminated. She rises into the air, does somersaults, dances, and pretends to swim. To convince the audience that she is not connected to any wires, the lecturer hands her a hoop which she moves all around herself while in the air.
It is a somewhat conventional levitation act, but since the public has not yet figured out how it is accomplished it will continue on the small big time. The act needs to be cut down.
