MHR – Nirvana and her thoroughbred trained stallion in a series of tableaus that are about all reproductions of well-known paintings. The horse is really a beautiful animal and the posing required is really extraordinary. The woman is quite pretty and of fairly good form, and, while the act did not call for a great amount of applause during its presentation, it got a tremendous hand at its close, and I think will be an exceedingly attractive novelty for the circuit. The scenery used is just a little bit worn and shabby, and the act is not presented quite as well as it might be. However, I am inclined to think that it is a turn which will be more thoroughly appreciated by the evening audience than that of the afternoon. 12 minutes, full stage.
