Two men in perch work. A 24- foot perch is used for the opening, balanced in the usual way with the mounter going through a difficult routine of gymnastics. The perch is very high, it being necessary to raise the borders considerably. The height makes for thrilling stuff, but has a drawback in that the top man can not be seen by those in the rear of the orchestra or balcony. A special eye in two backs up the gymnastics.
