39 min. full stage—The big hit of the show. He first exhibited his muscular development, in the same fashion in which he has always opened his act, being applauded heartily all through, and then proceeded to give his talk on physical development, which he illustrated with two human subjects. This part of his act is not only exceptionally interesting but in a way it was one of the comedy hits of the show. Sandow’s dialect is certainly better that that of the majority of German comedians, and the subject he used to illustrate the difference in development was so bad although a good looking chap, that the audience went into spasms over the contrast. Sandow did his usual routine of tricks, concluding with a spectacular finish. It is a great act, and I look for all sorts of business when people get to talking about it.
