The Aerial Mitchells do a breakaway ladder act that has some good work in the performance of the two young people, with the girl of the couple owning as pretty a figure as vaudeville displays. She wears full acrobatic tights, but neatly broken to remove the fleshing or union suit effect. The man goes in for comedy, in make-up and work. The boy dressed as neatly as his partner would make a very attractive looking act, with the added interest of having a girl performing this kind of acrobatics.
Their breakaway idea at the finish is different and better than the others. When the act becomes shaped and finally set it will be the best breakaway ladder turn in the business, competent to open or close big time bills.
