tural and lifelike.

in this performance are Shirley

makes a hit, Chico, the Clown,
who delights the most sophisticat-
ed audiences, Paredeswki, who

lighting and sound effects.

ing about the new Joy Sensation—

in connection with this work
were used later by him as the
basis for a series of prints on
Biblical stories.
