Comedy trick bicyclists. 12 min, FS, 3 shows. One working straight, the other eccentric. Pretty fair, but they have done the same thing before. Some of their tricks got a good hand. Fell rather short of expectations, particularly in the comedy, which was forced fun, and not spontaneous. Does not belong in the 2-a-day class. N.B. These people were booked for three shows, but flashed contract for two – am error in making out the contract, evidently. They played two shows, since were were [sic] in no great need of material.
