There is no whip, no coaxing and no scolding. One of the collies does a back somersault over four of the other animals from the floor.
Prof. Duncan has turned out something a bit different with about ten of the best looking Scotch collies imaginable and three men, all in Scotch kilts.
The backwards somersault trick was quickly caught as an unusual stunt by the house and appreciated. An accident during an "automobile party" was also particularly well worked and evoked no end of amusement.
Closing the show the act held in the entire audience after a very amusing and rather lengthy program.
The Prof. shows several new stunts with the jumping rope. The act is one of the best in the straight animal line that has been seen.
