people was both instructive and enter
tanning, his limitations in the use of
English conveying his ideas with force
and pungency that never failed to be
understood and often provoked laughter

his repertoire being various and extern
sive, old and new. Shungopavi was
ably sustained by Juanita in "The
Mystic Arrow" a clever bit of illusion,

rendition of "The Holy City" was

having produced this attraction. 1t
was good first number.
