Hand Equilibrists
This act has no business being on the "pop" time. Their closing trick alone merits attention on any bill. While their hand balancing and arm lifts vary little from other "strong arm" acts, credit must be given to the understander who toys with his heavy partner as though he was handling a miniature balloon. The top boy executes some clever tricks on a ladder, which the under chap balances on his feet, the former standing on his head on the little rest at the top. The ladder trick is done close to the footlights.
