Englishman on slack wire with dummy on his back that he uses to good effect for Ventriloquial stunts. His individual work on the wire is great, and some of it is unique. His still walking and playing the Mandolin at the same time made a big hit. Also his balancing lighted lamp on one foot and playing the Mandolin. A picturesque and novel act that would go anywhere. Biggest applause I have ever heard for an act of this kind. 12 minutes, full stage.
