His hand recovered enough to play one solo. He still evokes sympathy from the females in the audience by coming out with bandaged fingers. His fingers seemed very agile. Refused an ecore.
Performs on a slack wire, jumping over objects held on the wire by a female assisstant. His longest jump is over six chairs.
Has three well trained dogs. They do acrobatic work only. One trick has a dog do a complete summersault landing on the palm of the trainers hand on his front paws only. No whip is used.
Six good looking young men, all lively who work with spirit. The setting is the private apartment of a leading lady. The men should be allowed to wander around speaking to each other naturally rather than remain seated. “Harry L. Tighe is lost entirely too much to the feminine continget present through application at the piano. Mr Tighe is the personification of an ideal West Pointer in a cadet’s uniform and the girls in the house sigh for him continually.”
Miss Clark is a Mermaid when the drop is raised and explains why she is there until Foy arrives via the mouth of a whale. Foy has some funny effects
Max Sterling and a shabby outfit of aparatus. The gong trick was shown first. No new principle is used. Three assisstance are used. A girl who appers from behind a screen and is placed in a trunk with a false back, and in a De Kolta “vanishing lady chair” who hides behind a staircase. A man in a cage with a mirror who changes places with another man, who changes places with a girl. As an interlude while the stage is being changed, the girl is fitted with cloth “moth” wings. Apparatus in a shockingly bad state
Best work is by a toe dancer who seems to be less than the Gerry age. Several real drop splits are accomplished in rapid succession and the toe work is excellent. The others form a chorus and as a quartet perform all the regulation tricks,
“Little to the act except the drunken man and the orange throwing.”
Fine headwork, lose with their lack of parade. Headwalking makes a splendid finish.
“Miss Hall’s double chance as the real wife and the sporty dream-wife who is her exact opposite, stamps her a really clever woman.”
