Sebastian Merrill & Co.
cyclists / 1910s
Empress Theatre
"Sebastian Merrill and his Yip Yaps combine fun with one of the most startling bicycle
acts ever seen in Spokane. Few trick cyclists have introduced so many freak vehicles in
an act as do Merrill and his partners, and none has attempted a more daring feat than
the tandem somersault, in which two riders are catapulted through the air, turning
completely over before alighting on the stage. The act deserves headline honors."
