Motorcyclist that rides in a track inside a specially designed bowl onstage. The bowl is 15 feet in diameter and 10 feet 5 3/4 inches deep.
Not the 1912 magician of the same name.
Kermel is a motorcyclist who rides speedily and dizzingly around a specially-contrived track within the specially-built owl that is placed upon the stage. Kermel has brought his act up to date by having a stage apparatus that is not as cumbersome or unsightly as most of the others heretofore shown. It looks like black wire and at the top are two bulbs which give him all the light he wants for the exhibition. The "bowl" is so worked by cranks up stage that is revolves slowly while Kermel is whizzing around and around and attains an angle with the cup opening in front of the audience. Quite thrilling and most effective. Kermel is a nice looking young man who is decked out in a white riding outfit including a white headgear.
