A revolving
table twelve feet in diameter, resembling
the "Human Roulette Wheel," is
set up in the center of the stage. The
platform is driven around by a motor at
high speed while the riders pedal in the
opposite direction. The spinning platform
makes a tremendous racket, and this
with the furious pedaling of the
riders works up a moment or two of
real "thrill."
Two men and a nice looking girl make
up the trio who offered last week a bicycle
"thriller" as the added attraction in the
Western Burlesque Wheel house.
It took
six minutes to set the apparatus, and by
that time the audience was in no mood
to receive it with enthusiasm.
