GNH 2. Balancing trapeze. Miss Ballerini thought she had an idea for a new act, but I could not see anything in it and cut it out. She opened her act with a stereopticon picture representing what is supposed to be her dream, she and her young lady assistant in the meantime singing back of the drop. At the rise of the curtain they do a few steps of dancing and Miss Ballerini goes on the trapeze. She afterwards does a fine bit of balancing on an unsupported ladder, which added to her act, but the stereopticon part of it was useless. 12 mins. opening full stage, closing in one.
