28 minutes, full stage, close in one. Big, impressive looking act, but handicapped by slovenliness in performing some of the tricks, and bad feeling between animals and trainer. This man should be warned in each house before opening not to thrash or abuse his animals, as is his habit. The work of a New Foundland that apparently works arithmetical problems and picks out national flags, with the cues so cleverly concealed that they are not apparent to the audience, pleased them. Reckless comedy of the monks also helped the act go well. Must be called a good offering.
