I can’t for the life of me understand why so many people have said that this is a new act, or a better act than the one they did last season. As a matter of fact, it is exactly the same act with the change of a couple of songs and the introduction of a very short Hawaiian dance by one of the men, and the elimination of some good dancing by one of the three former members. I think the payment of an increase of salary to these people this year is one of the biggest impositions we have had. I am saying this in spite of the fact that it is a good act and was quite well received. 15 minutes in one.
