Thirteen "subjects"
are brought upon the stage, and
after certain "property" maneuvers, are
placed under "control." In this state
they do all manner of ridiculous stunts,
such as dancing grotesque steps, eating
candles, onions and raw potatoes under
the impression they are delicacies, and
lilting imaginary weights.
The Columbia
audience laughed itself sick over the
performance, although to a wiser crowd
the mechanism of the act would be apparent.
