1922 – The Three Kobes are splendid value Japanese entertainers. These Japs have reputation for performing feats with hands and feet that no other troupes of acrobats or ground tumblers ever attempt. Their scena goes with the vim that arouses the keenest enthusiasm, and is followed with breathless interest, the finale through a metal barrel pierced from without by keen, well-sharpened swords causes a positive thrill. (Aberdeen)
