Female Comedy Acrobats.
Black and White are two rather pretty girls.
From the opening of their act no one could suspect acrobatics. As the curtain goes up, they are seated at a table smoking cigarettes and singing a song about ” The Athletic Girl.”
One is brunette who dresses entirely in black with the exception of a white hair ribbon.
The other is clad all in white wearing a powdered wig with a black ribbon.
After the opening, the girls do some ground tumbling that is fast and snappy.
They do hand-to-hand balancing.

The Athletic Girl.
After about three minutes on the table, they close with an endless chain, going over the table first and then under. This gives them a laughing finish.
The act is a good one and their offering is a distinct novelty.
