Strong-man who allowed a three-ton car in which there were four men run over him.
Before the back wheels of the machine had had time to pass over him the piercing shrieks of two women startled the already terrified audience.
Not the least part of the entertainment was furnished by P J Casey, who, acting in an emergency, announced the attraction in a strong, resonant voice penetrating every point in the auditorium.
Marino will attract large crowds; the act will surely create talk, for it is presented in full view of the audience and the possibility of trickery does not come within the range of suspicion. It will probably prove the most profitable shortlived attraction Hammerstein's has ever held.
