Two boys with some comedy talk and some very good acrobatic work. The talk is fair; the acrobatic work, very good, and they finish with two tricks that are so startling and unexpected that they pull the audience right out of their seats. The tricks are: One man hangs head downward, the other fellow standing under him, turns a half somersault and is caught by the feet by the other man. In the second, the man hangs feet downward, the other one turns a half somersault and they are caught feet to feet. This does not seem wonderful in the same description, but in the action, it is the most startling thing I ever saw. If they did only these two things the act would be worth playing.
