In fact the only
weak thing about Travers’ performance
is the tricks—or rather the execution of
them. His routine consists of the simpler
of the familiar ones in general use.
For the finish and as a feature an impersonation
of Ching Ling Foo and a
couple of cabinet tricks are shown.
In the
dancing is the strength of the turn. Ned
Nye’s clever legmania is always liked, and
Ida Crispi contributes some eccentric work
in the dancing line that is in the same class.
The novelty is that
while the little figures go through their
mimic impersonations of well known artists,
one of the two manipulators sings
a characteristic song.
