THE |||
DOWNIE’S
Walking upside down high in the
air, with all of the confidence of a
fly strolling across the ceiling is
only one of the unusual and dar
ing stunts that the Dancing Down
jes, aerial gymnasts, will present
when they appear in a featured
role at the Rocky Mount Fair
on September 29-October 5.
The two Downies work on a uni
que rigging of their own design
and disdain the use of nets or
any other safety devices. Their
rigging consists of two stationary
-upright ladders, joined together at
the very top of a horizontal pole.
From this cross bar is suspend
ed feetloops, free swinging pole
Roman rings and other props.
Resides walking upside down
these daring young men work to
gether to perform thrilling gym
jiactic stunts all of which call foi
■extraordinary stmegth.
One of the members of the act,
while hanging from a trapeze by
his toes, supports his partner who
hangs by a cord suspended around
bis neck.
The Downies present their aerial
routine in a rapid, accomplished
manner that earmarks them as
being one of the outstanding at
tractions of its kind.
Their performance on the free
swinging pole suspended from the
top of the rigging is unparalleled.
The partners support themselves,
their bodies horizontal to the
ground, while the pole moves in
pendulum fashion.
The Dancing Downies were se
cured by the management for pre
sentation at The Rocky Mount
Fair through George A. Hamid,
Inc., the nation’s outstanding
backer of thrilling, outdoor pre
sentations.
