American Florence Troupe

The act was seven minutes long on the full stage. The “American” part of the act’s name seems to separate them from “foreign turns of similar name.” The act consists of three girls and four boys, the fourth of which is made up to look like a convincing girl. This fourth “girl” “is a great twister for shoulder-to-shoulder work, also doing a double that is a sightly feat.” The girls dress well in white.
The troupe finishes well and does not stall, but the act is really too short for vaudeville. That being said, they can competently close any show in vaudeville. They are excellent acrobats.
