In their acrobatic comedy, entitled ‘A Bit of Show Life.’ Act opens with Wilson making an apology to the audience on account of the absence of his partner. Scott is discovered in the Orchestra dressed as a farmer. They have some funny dialogue for a few minutes, finishing with Scott going upon the stage and then go through their acrobatic work, which is very original and funny. The company consists of two boys handling a ‘prop giraffe,’ which does not amount to much. Acts stops when Scott and Wilson finish their acrobatic stunts. Will move them up a little further. 11 min, full st.
