The act was nine minutes long on the full stage. Three girls and two men do a wire act on two wires spaced four feet apart. A female assistant hands them props. They jump from one wire to another and do cartwheels, rope skipping, two highs, and cakewalks in the air. They finish with a ground acrobatic routine.
"The act is well dressed and pretentious-looking for one of its kind." It is a good closing act.
