styles. shapes and conditions of faces
and all the pictures of realization in
its delightful unfolding. The perform
ers worked hard to please and succeed |
ed. As an act came to an end and |
the tired and perspiring performer
wobbled into the wings. the scene IN |
front of the footlights was one of clap |
