This diving act was twelve minutes long on the full stage.
Lottie Mayer is a large, but well proportioned female diver with an “alluring” smile. She opens with a song about “splashing” and steps off to the side behind a barrier to change into her bathing suit. She hangs her lingerie on a nearby tree limb and dives into the tank. While she dives, a tramp walks by and steals her undergarments. She does a number of diving tricks, all of which she announces herself.
Mayer brings a lot of personality to her act, but it is too similar to the other tank acts which have come before her.
