Billed as “Australian Champion Whip Expert” With only what is called over here a
“bull’ whip, Fred Lindsay, an Australian,
reaching the Colonial from London, holds
the audience highly interested for his brief
stay on the stage, a stay that is chock full
of action through Mr. Lindsay’s many
difficult maneuvers with the long piece of
rawhide. He snaps off the head
of a bottle held in the outstretched hand of
an assistant; circles the tip of the whip
around the necK of a woman, and tears
a revolver from a man’s grasp, among
the many really remarkable feats.
Lindsay
is going to cause talk wherever he appears.
He's a big success at the Colonial, and has
a decidedly difficult and novelty act.
