The Rials

The act offered by these people now could hardly be cleansed as a ring act, although they introduced some work on the rings at the start of their performance, the rest of it is made up almost entirely of talk a lot of it is quite funny and the audience seemed to enjoy it. The act could be placed to better advantage on No. 3, although when playing with Brown & O’Donnel on the bill, it is better to have it closing the show or after Brown & O’Donnel somewhere, as these boys work during the act in a manner similar to Joe cook with the Alexander Brothers. They held the audience wonderfully well and Brown & O’Donnell’s monkey work went far to helping out. Made quite a finish for the show. Altogether the act consumes 15 minutes full stage.
