The young juggler Frank Hartley made a district impression on the audience at the American. Performing without assistance, Hartley provided an entertaining program that included an interjection of comedy while juggling both light and heavy objects.
Hartley’s “egg comedy” proved entertaining despite its popularity in other juggling acts by similar performers. While many of his tricks have appeared in similar acts, Hartley’s superb execution worked to his advantage. The few new trick introduced though roughly impressed as a tea cup, saucer, and spoon were thrown from his toe to his forehead one at a time without a miss.
