The Shepherd act, from the audience standpoint, is fully as good as Fred Lindsay’s. From the manager’s standpoint it is better, because it doesn’t cost nearly as much. He held the closing spot most satisfactorily, receiving much applause for his closing feats with the whip. I am inclined, however, to believe that three or four of what appear to be his most skillful tricks, are faked. Some of the audience didn’t believe in the apple cutting and a request on our part to have it passed among the audience before cutting met with a flat refusal. I am also skeptical of the bottle and silver quarter tricks. However, if he fools the audience it all right. 10 Min. F.S.
