The Great Ricardo, the man on the swaying pole!

The Great Ricardo, swaying high pole act, is pictured doing a 9 minute exhibition of skill and daring atop a 110 foot pole, that swings and sways 35 feet across the top! The act is concluded with a thrilling hand-stand sway amid a beautiful display of fireworks, and a sensational slide-dive, head foremost down the pole! Address: 2160 Patterson St., Cincinnati, Ohio.
