Type:
Acrobatic act with a “Cossack Dance” utilizing swords and guns. Dancing as well.
National instrumental played at opening.
A so-called "Cossack Dance" in which swords and guns are used for some reason or other, added some novelty to the turn, but the general speed is along a mediocre grade with little to recommend its promotion from the "pop" circuits. The dancers, with one exception, show little originality and less ability.
