They wear colored garters on their arms for no good reason. If the sleeves of their blouses don’t fit they should be tailored.
The act opens with five minutes or so of splendid two-high work executed with almost perfect style, without slips and in a swiftly moving series. The feature tricks involve the bounding net. The top mounter starts from a high perch, somersaults into the net and swings up in singles, twisters and in one trick a double into two and three highs.
The Bounding Gordons close the bill with one of the most striking acrobatic acts that come to mind. A number of sensational feats are made possible through the extreme lightness and agility of the boy.
