Didn't the St. Leon's also do a comedy contortion act as sailors?
Yes, I think it was called, "The Seven Sailors", a sliding table knock about act, the best I ever saw. I remember in the Cafe Mocambo in Montreal, Raul Hoffman,(on the right in the photo), used to slide across the table on his stomach, land on the stage still sliding & wind up sliding down the steps into the audience, tore the house down.
