 The Arab Patrol appeared on the floor after the playing of the select tion from Martina" and went through a series of intricate drills. The effect of the red, green, and gold silk and plush uniforms was very inn pressive. The effect was heightened by occasionally extinguishing the lights in the building and having only the incandescent lamps on the fez of each Arab lit. e
 After going through a number of drills and formations that elicited saIvos of applause, the patrol stepped back from one formation and lefttheir scimitars on the floor spelling sNew Britain."'7 The drill was concluded with a star formation in the center of the floor around the American flag, during which the band played 'The Star Spangled Banner" and the audi ence arose.
