‘The Girl No Man Can Lift’, says the program, with “the 17- year-old prodigy” also in the billing… This Resista is a slight blonde girl, not looking older than proclaimed. A woman announcer, somewhat stout, is busy and brusque. She first speaks from the stage, then brings forth Resista and follows her into an orchestra aisle where anyone is invited to attempt to lift her from the floor. A couple unsuccessfully try. The women return to the stage with the announcer inviting a “committee” from the orchestra. Four or five men respond. A series of lifts are gone through, none succeeding in taking the girls feet off the floor.
