spoils his dog and pony act with “too free use of the whip. It would be better to pass over a break than to administer correction in view of the auience.”
Cliffe Berzac
“would be only ordinary in a country circus because they are used to trick mules … Here n New York trick mules are scarce… the unridable one is a scream”. The act is “cleverly faked” with volunteers from the audience. “The effect of spontaneity is gained”. Some of the volunteers are tumblers.
Cliff Berzac
Foreign act. Takes old trick from circus of asking anyone in audience to ride a horse for a reward if successful. Here it is a donkey. One hundred dollars is offered to anyone who can ride it. “The confederates employed do not hurt the value of the act as a laugh producer”. A few trick ponies also feature in the act.
