Palace, 23 minutes. Juggler of Cannon Balls and other light and heavy objects. This is surely a great act-one that makes people talk. I think the one fault with this act is the fact of its being entirely to long. Instead of doing 23 minutes, if he were to cut it to about 13 or 14 minutes I am sure the act would be much more valuable. As it is, the audience tires somewhat. At the close of the act the applause is not nearly so strong as it would be were the act shorter. I have tried to tell Mr. Spadoni this but he seems to think the managers want long acts. However, it is an act that would repeat with us.
