Posing and feats of strength, 12 minutes, F.S. Special drop. Lady and man. Posings [sic] display great muscular development, and the many feats of strength were a delight to witness. The act is a novelty new to this city, and was greatly appreciated is consequence.
[Herculean gymnast] 2 shows, 11 min. full stage. This man’s work is exceptionally good, so far as it goes, though he is not in the same class as Sandow, as many elect to believe, and he has an absolutely offensive manner of appealing for applause at the finish of his several feats. Did not go nearly so strong as last time he was here.
13 mins. Gar. in 3. Herculean gymnast. Act is well known on the circuit. Opens with posing in the cabinet, and then does his balancing and lifting. A good act, but could be improved if he did not continually look at the audience for “kind applause.”
Presenting: “The Sleeping Miracle of Strength.” This woman has a pleasing personality. By the aid of an assistant, she goes into a trance and while sitting on a chair raises her arms and lifts two stones each weighing about 250 lbs. with a man on each arm. The Jury watched this act very attentively and on the finish, some hissed and others applauded. It will, no doubt, create some talk, but doubt if it would be advisable to hold longer than this week. 10 min, full stage 2 shows.
