Toledo

The act was seven minutes long on the full stage. Toledo opens with two minutes of pantomime during which he walks across the stage, lights a cigarette, and sits down to read a paper. He then takes off his coat and curves his body backwards until his hands touch his ankles. He does some “cakewalk stepping” in that position. For a finish, he stands on a kitchen table held in place by a stagehand. He bends backward until he touches the floor and then “raises himself into an erect posture on the table.”
