Powell’s Manikins

YRR 2. Not as good as Jewell’s. The features of this act are a Papinta fire dance by a manikin and a trained dog being worked by a manikin master. The act is short, and five minutes of the thirteen are devoted to a spectacular real water fountain display, which did not seem to greatly appeal to the audience. A good act for the children holiday week, but cannot compare with Jewell’s or Holdin’s. 13 mins. Special set.
