The Zanaros
Comedy and Trick Bicyclists. The audience did not seem to enthuse over the comedy end. The trick riding was very good. 10 min full stage- 3 shows.
Proveanas
Europe’s most expert bicycle women. Garden – 13 min. I think this is one of the best bicycle acts I have ever seen. While they do not dress quite as neat as the Kaufmann Troupe, I think their work is equally as good.
Hazardous Globe of Death
8 min. A skeleton steel globe in which Dr. C.V. Clarke and Miss Bertha Clarke perform many interesting evolutions on bicycles, whirling hither and thither in the same directions or in opposite directions one above another and altogether an interesting feature. Aside from the closing stunt which is that of Dr. Clarke mounted on a motorcycle making lightning-like revolutions through the cage, looping-the-loop again and again, through the immense applause of the entire audience. In fact, the act made a tremendous hit, throwing Carlotta and all the other “death-defyers” in the shade. This act will draw immensely for the balance of the week. It is certainly a great sensation and a winner for that sort of a circus act. The Globe of Death is the most exciting thing of the kind ever seen here. The man really takes his life in his hands every time he does the act, and the audience understands this fact only too plainly.
Three Merrills
Three men and a woman, in a comedy cycle act. Clever trick riding, good comedy. New property man in this act, would give one the impression they were breaking the act in here, it is however an excellent act, with plenty of laughs and big applause throughout. Twenty minutes, full stage, two shows.
Palfrey and Hilton
2 shows, 13 min. full stage. Trick and comedy bicycle riding by two skilful young men. This sort of thing always goes well here, and although a large number of the at no time large audience had melted away during the preceding performers act, the bicyclists managed to make good.
The Marvelous Merrills
This act was accorded on ovation. The bicycle riding of the Merrills is not far short of the riding of the Kauffman troupe while the comedy of one of them is mirth-provoking, and was enjoyed by the boxes as well as the gallery. 16 min. F.S.
French Brothers
2 shows, 11 min, full stage. Bicycle and unicycle experts; probably the greatest in that line of work in the business. Everything they did was applauded, and they went big from start to finish.
Bros. French
Bicyclist and unicyclist. This act has played the circuit before so that criticism is unnecessary. It is probably the most artistic trick riding act in the country. 12 minutes, full stage.
Arthur Buckner
The Cycle Marvel He is without doubt one of the best, his riding is of the sensational kind and holds the people until the finish. Full stage. 17 min
Hill & Sylvani
Cyclists. They have played Cleveland quite a number of times, once one of the features of the Empire show. It’s a very good act, if not the greatest act of its kind in vaudeville today. They made a big hit here. Time 12 minutes full stage.
