Two horses are used for the act, in which May and her brother take several turns somersaulting on their backs.
May’s left knee was bandaged on stage, likely from practice. As such she didn’t do her famed double somersault.
May introduced their act with a solo song, and during the riding, their mother acted as ringleader and announcer.
"You Made Me Love You"
"The double riding was worthwhile", and if she ever is able to do her double somersault in this theater, "she will pull the house down".
