two lovely girls, all masters of

be believed. The entire troupe,
working together, demonstrate
their skill in acrobatics in swift
paced hand-balancing and pyra-
mid-building routines that become
swirling flash of graceful mo-
ton. Their many-hued oriental
costumes give the act a gay and
festive air that brings added
sparkle to an already brilliant
performance. Fresh from a four
