15 minutes f.s. Special set. Six sea lions and two shapely diving girls in a tank with a glass plate front. The work of the seals is wonderful, and the turn proved one of the very best “tank act” novelties we have ever played. The seals imitate all the dives the girls perform, as well as various underwater stunts and difficult swimming strokes. The two girls make a striking appearance and the act is mounted and handled in a thoroughly showman-like manner. A great closing feature.
