Three Demons

Type:
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.
