12 Mins.; Full Stage A very classy bicycle act. Closing the show at the Colonial within a minute or two of 11 o’clock, it held the audience in till the finish. It is made up of two girls and a man, the girls attired first in abbreviated Watteau dresses, with little hats to match. The act is backed up by an artistic sateen cyclorama drop on which are painted a couple of fancy portraits in medallions, the figures being in Colonial costumes in keeping with the dressing of the girls in the act. After going to all this trouble to secure such an artistic effect, the man in the act is attired in modern Tuxedo raiment, not at all in keeping with the “picture.” Later the girls strip to tights with ballet-length skirts and knickers, and are at all times comely in appearance. All three ride their wheels well, performing single, double and trio work of good quality. A very pleasing act of its kind.
