The Gingras

The act was thirteen minutes long on the full stage. The Gingras consists of one Frenchman and his young male assistant. The two men have a heavyweight juggling routine in the style of Paul Conchas. They have a unique trick, however, in which the Frenchman throws balls out of a prop cannon that explodes when each one is removed.
The act could look and dress better, but that should be overlooked until they have some money to improve their appearance. The man is a good showman and as it stands the act is good for the small big time. With some improvements, it could play the biggest houses in vaudeville.
