Cowboy Williams and Miss Daisy gave the show a big shove forward with Mr. Williams’ cannon ball catching and bayonet juggling. For a closing trick Williams catches ten cannon balls in eight seconds – actual timing – on his neck, the balls being dropped from the flies at a height of about eight feet. Similar cannon ball stunts have been done before Paul Spadoni, first some 20 years ago, and others, but none have handled the trick in a more daring or showmanlike way than Williams.   The team would do well, however, to drop the talk now used or get some real material. Daisy acts as assistant, lending atmosphere to the stage picture through a piquant personality and first-rate singing voice.
