This wild west routine still has Rogers performing rope tricks as his main feature. He has dropped some of his lariat throwing to incorporate his Fred Stone imitation. The biggest surprise of the act was Rogers' dancing, and he gets away with it. His dancing is an imitation of George Cohan. At the end of the act Rogers introduces a young girl who rides a broncho, quite well, on stage.
The George Cohan dance causes a storm of applause from the audience.
