The World's Wonder
UNIQUE AND
EXTRAORDINARY
The explanation, answer and solution of how, why and when to employ these two words in their fullest ineanirifj, has been found at the
PALACE THEATRE NEW YORK CITY
Week of April 9th, 1923, by those who witnessed the performance and first New York appearance of
RASTELLI
“The World’s Wonder”
Uni(}ue and Extraordinary in Act and Person
Because it was confirmed that clever people are horn every minute, hut a genius or phenomenon is only horn about once in every 25 years.
Everybody had probably seen “ 100% jugglers.”
They thought that they had seen" 100% hand balancers.”
They imagined having seen “ 100% artists” doing all sorts of balancing feats.
Likewise they knew all about the greatest “ 100% head equilibrists.”
And, of course, they had seen “ 100% artists of tremendous strength and with remarkable muscular powers.”
But they could not imagine that five of these “100% artists” could be found in one per.son doing combinations of tricks never thought of before and some needing superhuman strength on account of three and four absolute opposite and contrary movements requirixl to accompli.sh such tricks, baflling description and defying all laws of gravitation and equilibrium.

“UNIQUE AND EXTRAORDINARY” should or could be employed without leaving the slightest question of a doubt possible or imaginable.
Yours truly,
