The act was twelve minutes long on the full stage.
A man and a woman dressed as clowns have a routine of comedy juggling. The man is a fast juggler. They do an old gag in which they open a box and a prop snake flies out. The woman removes her clown wig at the finish and lets her hair down. Two little children dressed as clown run onstage to take a bow with their parents.
The man does some tricks "uncommonly well", but their "home-made" comedy does not quite land. The man and woman work well together, however, and seem to have worked together for a long time. The children at the end present a "pretty picture of domesticity."
