Princess Indita
Princess Indita is a snake charmer. She does an introductory speech in which she shows the audience pictures of India and Indian life. She uses several snakes, one of which is a rattler and the other is a harmless yellow one She then performs a “sacrifice” dance. The Princess then points at her lips and receives a kiss from the yellow snake. She also teases the rattlesnake into a fury in which it coils and snaps. She does a “death struggle” with the seemingly trained yellow snake for the finish.

“Haleb”
The act was eleven minutes long on the full stage.
“Haleb” is an “educated” horse which goes through a standard routine of tricks. Two of his tricks are new, however. One involves throwing his front leg over his head while his back legs are on the seat of a chair. The other involves brushing an imaginary fly off of his nose with his left hind leg.
