6 Mins.; Full Stage (Gypsy Camp). Six men and two women form this acrobatic group. The “family” is dressed in the familiar grab of foreign nomads. They carry a gypsy camp drop and open with the women doing a tambourine dance. Pyramids, shoulder-to-shoulder leaps and somersaults, with groundwork the piece de resistance, are performed by the men. One of the women also puts in some acrobatic turns. The act has some flashy arabics, spirals and springboard (trampoline effect) somersault revolutions that are well done. The men are inclined to take their time with the work. Good act of its kind and a splendid closer for the pop house.
