The Three Melvins held them in to be a man, and with a spot on the bill could easily stopped proceedings. The three men exhibit some extraordinary hand-to-hand tricks with a display of showmanship par excellence. They finish with a flying hand-to-hand catch, one standing on a high pedestal and without any rebound going clear across the stage for his catch. Took six curtains and could have taken as many more “bends.”
