Strong-man-act: 11 min. in 1 ½.  2 shows.  On at 9:00.  This is one of the best acrobatic and balancing act in Vaudeville.  We have never had a strong-man act that worked the audience up to such a pitch of enthusiasm.  Their remarkable physical development is something that commands admirations, while their feats are not only new but some of them beyond the ability of the strongest men we have seen on any stage.  The finishing feat with the spring-board got a whirlwind of applause and two curtain calls.  In this act there is no covering up of deficiencies with brilliant paraphernalia.  They are “the goods” through and through and the audience appreciated it.  Particularly valuable working in 1 ½.
