No record of the gymnastic team of Miss Lilian and Lionel Eolson exists. We did find, however, a reference to Mr. Eolson and one LÈona Eolson, a matrimonially connected duo of trapeze artists. Whatever the reason–be it contractual or merely an attempt to shake the dust off the old routine–our strong supposition is that Lilian and LÈona are one in the same. And really, why fret a first name when one is discussing such clearly serious aerialists, who, judging from the cameo tricks in the right-hand border, was quite the equal opportunity enterprise.
