They go through a neat head-to-
head routine and finish with some perch
work, using the American flag for the picture.
The girls
play drums, one does the sword dance to especially
neat stepping, they sing, play the
piano and violin.
An attractive woman in evening
gown, speaking good English, works
with two trained cockatoos, one at a
time. The first is “Billie,” in a routine
of stunts more or less familiar, but
pleasingly presented. Then “Jackie” is
brought forth, a smaller bird. It
“talks” so distinctly one is almost
tempted to suspect the lady is resorting
to ventriloquism.
There is a vast amount of acrobatic
work that is highly commendable
performed by the two Floods who remain
on the stage during the entire proceedings.
Just what the other two Floods are to the
act is hard to figure.
In
looking over the act the first time one is
apt to overlook the baboon that brings
the various apparatus employed to the
trainer, in watching the one that performs
on the wire. Both monks are
genuine animal comedians and get many
legitimate laughs through their intelligent
behavior.
