The act was eleven minutes long on the full stage.
Gregoire and Elmina have a heavy weight balancing act entitled “The Furniture Tusslers.” Elmina is an attractive woman who assists Gregoire. He balances a parlour couch on his head and walks up and down a ladder. For the finale, he balances a “load” of furniture while blindfolded. The “Co.” of the act refers to a young male assistant.
The couple got the biggest applause for the tricks with the couch and the finale.
The girl missed her opening trick twice, and there was too much stalling in the rest of the act. It could, however, make good on the small big time.
