mind as the marvellous stunts of these

world, and they are not going to be
denied. And this time there are many
additions and improvements. The
gymnasts have added new stunts, a
new baby elephant has been born,
there is midget deer and midget
wild boar, which are loose on the
stage in the hunt scene.
And there are still the five midget
