GYH 2 – Equilibriust and strong man. This is the first of the acts engaged by Mr. Keith in Europe, and, if it is a criterion of what is coming, we are certainly going to have some exceptionally good material this season. I think it is unquestionably one of the best acts of the kind that I have ever seen in vaudeville. He opens his act with a muscle display while standing in a cabinet, after the style of Sandow, and I really think that he makes a better picture than Gandow does. He then does a lot of equilibristic feats that are all performed in a novel manner and are presented in that clean-cut, graceful style which are so characteristic of European performers. He was splendidly received this afternoon on an early part of the bill, where I had placed him until I could get an idea of the act. He will be moved down tonight. 15 minutes, full stage.
