The Cragg Family

A spirited film, showing the entire act performed by this most famous troupe of English acrobats, father and five sons. The Cragg family are famous throughout the world for their sensational acrobatie work and command the highest salary of any acrobatic family in the world, having received $3,000 per week on their last visit to America. The startling feats of head to head and foot to foot balancing, triple somersaults and marvelous hand and foot work accomplished by these premier gymnasts make one of the most wonderful motion pictures ever produced.
