Herr Schmidt and Company

Location:

Type:
Schmidt steps under the [bicycle] track and by straightening up lifts it and rider several inches from its supports. The posts are knocked out and Schmidt holds the apparatus steady with the aid of the now tightened guy ropes, while the rider does a quarter of a mile around the "saucer."
The audience at the Empire where the act was shown last week as an added attraction, accepted it rather mildly.
