Ahearn’s Six Day Bicycle Race

Twelve men in as sloppy a looking exhibition as I have ever seen the days when burlesque was at its worst. Slap-stick comedy predominates all through and nothing had been overlooked. Ahearn ought to contribute the services of his old act for a week for nothing to square himself for foisting this act on us in its present shape. The act has really good possibilities but there is too much of a sameness to it at the present time. A good trick rider should be introduced, the makeup of some of the “comedians” should be cleaned up and then the act should hide away out of town for a few weeks to get it in proper shape before showing to a regular audience. Special set in 4. Time 10 min.
