The Novell Brothers

Violin playing.
The Novell Brothers opened the show at the last Harlem Opera House the second half of last week. After playing violins while doing their acrobatic they closed in "one" exactly as the Arnauts Brothers do, and offered the "whistling birds" encore, going so far as to make almost the same announcement. The Arnauts' announcement is an imitation of "two whistling birds." One of the Novell announces it as "whistling birds in Central Park." Even the costuming is closely alike.
