This aerial act was seven minutes long.
La Vier opened the show on a single trapeze. He goes through his movements very quickly. He swings over the orchestra pit on the trapeze for almost the entire act.
As his finale, he pretends to fall while balancing a rocking chair on the bar. He catches his feet in the side ropes at the last minute.
The trick in which he pretends to fall almost brought the entire audience to its feet. La Vier held the attention of the audience the entire time.
The new tricks he has added to the act strengthens it.The act is a great opening for any vaudeville show.
