This act went very well indeed, but like the Lottie Brandon Loop it depends entirely upon the electric lights to hide the deception from the audience, and I think the majority of our people understand that fact. There is no question though, but that the race around the loop interests them and there was a very generous amount of applause at the finish. I think now as I did before seeing it that the miniature track detracts from the race in that it takes the attention of the audience to a certain extent to the exclusion of the riders; still, as a novelty, it is all right for a couple of weeks but the performer who can do the loop without the electric light to blind the audience will make a bigger hit than any other. 9 minutes, full stage.
