Two boys. Club jugglers. This act was booked here to work in one. It is just simply impossible. We worked them in two and that was as near the foot lights as we dared put them. They do as difficult stunts as the Mowatts or the Johnsons. It would endanger the heads of the musicians and of those in the front orchestra seats to have them throwing six and eight clubs at terrific speed through the air out on the foot lights. However, I doubt it they could do it even if we would let them. The act is an excellent one their work being liberally applauded. Drapery in two, close in open. 8 minutes.
