- Summary
- NoS Summary - Acrobatic act performed by two midgets and a normal sized man.
British Pathe synopsis: Two midgets or dwarfs perform an acrobatic routine with a man of normal height. One of the midgets is manhandled by the taller man who seems to grip him by the face and throw him to the other side of the stage. The midget (who looks like a boy) pretends to cry. The midget is thrown around and balances on the man’s head. He again is shoved away by the man. The midget is held in the air balancing his head on the man’s hand. An even smaller midget comes onto the stage. He takes off his hat and coat and is thrown around by the larger man. Slapstick acrobatics ensue. The pair do all sorts of weird acrobatics and end with the man doing a shoulder stand and the boy sitting on the man’s backside posing for the camera. This is seen in C/U. After more throwing around an intertitle reads: "Cheerio!" and the three midgets are carried off by the man, balancing on his body. - Keywords
