“The Flying Horse” is a new sketch by Gardiner and Vincent, although a little of it has been taken from their previous act, especially the dance at the end. The story is about a magic horse, which assisted the two principals in escaping from Arabia by flying to their American home. There is a moving picture panoramic view of the country as the “flying horse” (with the couple astride) flies over the country. This allows time for the second set to be made. During the “flight” Miss Vincent sings. She only sings twice during the act. The comedy is secured through dialog, situation and mechanical effects.
Mr. Gardiner has the foundation for a good comedy act. He will have to discover what is wrong and then remedy it.
