| 説明 | From a New Zealand newspaper, The Manawatu Times- June 27th, 1901:Ferry, the Human Frog.The local theatre-going people have heard a great deal of late about Ferry, the contortionist, who is known as " the human frog," but last evening they had an opportunity of seeing his wonderful performance at the Theatre Royal. The fact that Ferry was to appear in the town naturally caused him to be talked about, and the large audience that assembled at the Theatre Royal last night was quite expected. When the curtain was raised it was found that the stage had undergone a complete transformation, being arranged in such a way as to give a capital representation of a swamp. Suddenly a large green frog made its appearance, coming, it seemed, from the bottom of a pool on the stage. This was Ferry, the human frog, his make up being done as perfect as it could possibly be. After imitating the different movements of a frog, Ferry sprang to the top of a tree stump, about 5 ft in heighth, where he executed some marvellously clever feats while balancing himself on a small piece of wood; The audience was exceedingly appreciative, and Ferry received quite a storm of applause. As a contortionist, his equal has certainly never been seen in this town, and so marvellously clever are his feats that many peopje are almost tempted to believe that he is a " boneless " man. " "Little Berto", a clever juvenile, also appeared in patriotic and comic songs, and took part in the duet "Cynthia" with Mr Fitzgerald, in which an allusion to the recent presentation of members of the Borough Council to Royalty caused considerable amusement. The performance concluded with some bioscope pictures of the Passion Play and several miscellaneous subjects were also shown. Ferry and his company will give their final performance this evening. |
