Acrobatic novelty. First American appearance. Open in two in an airship. They carry their own drop, representing tops of houses. One works straight while the other impersonates a clown. Received quite a number of laughs for the comedy while in the airship. They change to full stage, showing a single trapeze on which one of the brothers does some good gymnastic work. The act is nothing sensational, but they are foreigners, the opening is novel, therefore, it is a mighty valuable three-show act and alright for an early place and for re-booking. 19 min, full stage, 3 shows.
