12 min. F.S. 2 shows. On at 8:55. This is an excellent children’s act. Rafayette himself is a gymnast as well as a trainer. The dogs certainly work marvellously well and introduce a lot of tricks that have never been seen here before, such as backward somersaults from high perch, dog-balancing on dogs, etc. etc. Kept the children in constant laughter and worked up to a fine finish. The dogs show none of the accustomed fear of the trainer that characterizes animal acts usually. An all right specialty for this spot.
