This week, the act is part of the Cabaret fill. Despite being merely a part of the Cabaret, it is said that the troupe can give a 15 minute act. It is apparently something of the English style of grotesque comedy, with a sprinkling of acrobatics.
The present offering runs 5 minutes. The ten people appear, one by one, on stilts. Their sizes ranging from midget to the tallest, standing fifteen feet from the ground. They close with the entire group in step fashion, one behind the other. For some comedy, the tallest drops his hat and is unable to stoop over to obtain it. The midgets, who cannot lift it to him, sends it on by passing the hat from one to the other, their sizes graduated by about one foor.
