The Josselin Trio

The Josselin Trio on the trapeze opened, looking well in pure white against a black draped setting. All the apparatus should lie painted dark also, so there would be no jar in the color scheme. Even the ropes should be blackened and the descent for the finale shortened.

Clara Ballerini

She makes an excellent impression upon her first appearance, thanks to a shapely figure, admirably set off by tight knickers and loose blouse, and more than an average share of personal attractiveness.

Newhouse and Carroll

The setting shows a stream with an arched bridge crossing it. The man is seated at the highest point, in regulation Summer outing clothes, fishing. A “Summer girl” in fluffy frock and hat crosses the bridge just as the fisherman has “a bite.” In the excitement a “breakaway” arrangement is sprung, the bridge collapses and the rails of the bridge become a pair of parallel bars. All this occupies but a few minutes, and the pair get down to the acrobatic and gymnastic work immediately.
