The act was five minutes long on the full stage.
These comedy acrobats have an act similar to Rice and Prevost. For their finale, the clown sits on a chair which is balanced on three tables stacked on top of one another. He then tilts the chair backwards and does a back somersault, landing on his feet.
Bush and Peyser have arranged an entertaining
routine of comedy acrobatics.
It is an acrobatic specialty, prettily set with a back drop representing a pumpkin field, although a pumpkin here and there on the painted scene resembles a large sized tomato. Mr. Sutton as a bucolic youth is a lively acrobat, but depending more on his ground tumbling. Miss Sutton, good looking and becomingly dressed in tights, is an out and out contortionist.
Of the two men, one is a good straight ground tumbler, although he has costumed himself after a fashion that suggests his desire to be a comedian. He makes a good tumbler and had much better work straight, leaving the comedy department to his partner. The latter is stout, even “fat,” and a good deal more comedy capital is to be made out o his physical peculiarities than from the slapstick in which the other insists upon indulging himself.
