"Richard The Great," a monk that has been visiting the West for quite a long time, closed the show. He does about all the others do without being coaxed. Once the monk gently slapped his trainer and it brought a big laugh. The monk's walking of a slack rope is a stunt the others haven't shown. Richard's billing as. the "monk who made a man out of himself," is bright stuff and some of the stunts he does off stage no doubt give some basis for it. A woman who briefly makes an appearance and is on at the finish no doubt had considerable to do with the monk's training.
