With the audience still yawning the Hippodrome opened its show to a handful of patrons at 11 am with Arthur and Peggy in a wire-walking act in which one of the members does a back somersault wearing heavy riding boots, this being the only feature that awoke the sleepy audience. The female member sang a scotch song – but Lucy Bruch, a tiny miss with bobbed hair and a violin, dressed in a gypsy costume took home some of the honors. She received the attention of the audience and made them like it. Her position on the bill is the only thing that held her back from being a feature attraction.
