A double acrobatic turn, with the man in white-face as a clown character, the woman doing a semi-Pierrot role. The latter is exceptionally clever in ground working, doing some excellent turns on a pair of short stilts, the routine being gauged so that she repeats the "stunts" done by the man. It's an act that could open, or close a big-time bill and hold interest throughout, and even if placed in a mid-position on a big-time bill would go still better. The couple are apparently French. Some comedy is worked up through the exchange of gestures with members, of the orchestra. At the Columbia, in opening position, it gave the show a corking start and closed a big hit.
