Cabinet tricks and a levitation.
Lung Chung Foo works along the usual style of Oriental magicians and illusionists, but Lung is merely a stage chink. His fund of foreign dialogue consists merely of a continually muttered "Allay" and an occasional "high." His routine embraces the needle and thread trick, said to be originally introduced back in Caesar's time, the stereotyped cabinet stunts and a levitation bit that hardly evoked the applause deserved. A short film is also added for some unaccountable cause. Showing Lung in Chinatown and bringing him to the stage door of a threatre. It didn't fool anyone and because of its aged condition should be eliminated. Lung carries two men and a girl. He could condense the turn down to the proportions of a fair small-time offering, but beyond this the possibilities are nil.
