Karl Emmy and his Pets
“The terriers work smoothly and swiftly and the bright, whirling spinning device at the finish rounded off the act nicely.”
Margaret Hill’s Animals
The act was nineteen minutes long. Miss Hill enters in a go-cart driven by a pony. The pony butts a male assistant and allows a monkey to ride on its back. There are several dogs tied together by a leash that get restless while they wait their turn. It takes away from the act. The dogs eventually do some high leaping.
Captain Winston’s Riding Seals
Eph Thompson’s Elephants
Herr Grais’s Baboons
Uses three animals.
Most of the work is done by a tight-rope walking baboon, which disrobes in midair.
A dash of comedy is supplied by a smaller monk working as an assistant.
Meehan’s Dogs
Felix, the Mind-Reading Duck
“If you have lost an article, tell your troubles to Felix, and he will tell you where to find it.”
Don Carlos
Uses a wholly dog and a lioness.
He spends too much time on the levitation trick.
