Pipifax and Panlo, if not in the first rank of music hall performers, were certainly in the second. They now appear to have all but disappeared from most records as well as from memory.
However the brochure for the Royal Variety Performance of 1912 has the two at the top of the list of performers; and a scan of the May-June 1965 edition of Bandwagon tells us that Panlo was one of only 6 trampolining artistes who could, in 1910, "... execute the acrobatic feat in which a tumbler executes the round-off, flip-flap and double back somersault on the ground."
