Aerial artists.  Five people, 12 minutes in 5, Garden. What this act needs is speed. They do some very clever work, but they take too long doing it. If they should cut their time in half and work their act in six minutes they would get over much better. They carry a little excess baggage in the way of a gentleman who holds a ladder and removes the rigging, and who evidently doesn’t know the moaning of speed as he takes considerable time in all of his undertakings.
