12 min. Water Landscape in 5. We understand this woman has three acts. Number one, which she is giving here; number two, where the cart and dogs are used; and number three, the best of all, in which the posing in the back drop is done. They were all given with the Barnum show, but on one week engagements, the simplest of three acts is presented. One of the Three Avolos is travelling with Miss Gerard as her husband or manager. She also has a French horse trainer, who claims to have trained horses for the Czar of Russia. This gentleman has two assistants. The number one act that she gave us to-day consists entirely of high school riding. She used two horses, working one at a time. They do they cake-walk, the waltz, and other fancy evolutions. The act went exceptionally well, and was applauded throughout, with curtain calls at the finish. The horses are well trained, and work without balking. The act made a real hit.
