The act was twelve minutes long on the full stage.
The Loretta Twins are actually three girls. Two look and dress similarly in short performance skirts that look like bathing suits and the other wears comedy makeup. The do a routine on the triple bars with a trampoline underneath. They do somersault cut-offs, giant swings, and a double somersault cut-off for the finish.
They were so popular that even though they appeared at 11:28, not a single member of the audience left before they were finished.
The comedic "twin" may do better working straight, because the act is so novel it does not even need the comedy. The act is interesting because the women do acrobatic work usually done by men. They are worth more than a male act doing the same thing. They could close any big time bill.
