12 min. This was formerly known as Howard’s Bears. There are three bears and several dogs and they are put through a routine of familiar tricks. The bears worked well but the dogs appeared cowed which hurt the act a lot. A tableau representing the bear in his wild state used for an opening does not make itself plain and the act only went fair.
