[New act] Juggling, 8 mins; one. Special. W.C. Fields must have been the inspiration for this juggling act as the man, who supplies the action in the turn has certainly copped some of Field’s mannerisms. “Nolan” announces the girl assistant, who does just about as much that implies. Going through a regular routine with intermediate stabs at comedy, the man put over an average opening bit adding a few new twists to some of the tricks, but failed to live up to the advance dope, as programmed, “The Jesting Swede.”
