The novelty of the Walkers’ turn is that they work with the double bars leading to a casting upright and cradle and a trapeze hanging below the cradle. The act has straight worker, clown and trickily dressed woman. The woman hangs from the cradle like a catcher, but in reality stalls and throws the trapeze to the workers at the right time. The feature trick is a giant swing and fly-away from the outside bar, across the second bar with a twisting somersault catching the traps, going back to the second bar and finishing the routine with a fly away and double to the mat. Aside from this trick the straight and clown do nothing but the familiar stuff, simple, but smoothly handled.
