AUSTRALIA READ OFT The following article appeared in “SYDNEY DAILY TELEGRAPH” Dec. 16, 1912: The programme at the Tivoli this week is full of things. lt was notably strengthened on Saturday night by ten! Zoug Zoug Arabs—a troupe of 16 Moroccans, who do the most alarming acrobatic and tumbling feats with the ease and grace of young panthers. The item was ushered in with all the pomp and ceremony befitting a ritual of the sons of the desert. Some of the dusky troupe led the way, attired as sheiks, in flowing white robes, aud carrying weapons with enormously long barrels and curved butts, which they whirled round aed round with great dexterity. Then eame the mussicians. with native instruments—two tom-toms, & onestringed violin, and @ couple of castanet eymbals, upon which they produced the most weird and unearthly sounds the while t ey kept up @ vocal chant. Afterwards followed the rest of the troupe, who cavorted and pirouetted in perfect rhythm. The initial ceremony over, the garb of the desert was discarded, and the 16 dusky and muscular athletes, ranging in size from mere striplings to hereulean giants, formed themselves into pyramids, bridges and towers with remarkable ea.e and rapidity. In the Moroccan tower, the whole of the performers took part, producing @ structure five stories high, the top one being away up in the flies. At a given signal the tower crumbled to pieces like a house of cards. There was po elaborate preparation for dismantling—no careful climbing down from top to bottom—but with a thud, thud, thud, seemed to reach the stage simultaneously. The tumbling propensities of these wonderful people are marvelous. The rapidity with whieh the revolutions were carried out was bewildering. and with 16 whirling. gyrating human atoms, each attired in gorgeously colored habiliments, the tout ensemble was a censtantly changing explosion of color. And they seemed to fairly revel in it. Their faces were wreathed in smiles as if thelr astounding tumbles. were a mere schoolboys’ frolic. Singly, each is a whirlwind; combined, they are a veritable tornado NOW IN THE FIELD Beni Zoug Zoug 16 Berbers Sons of the Desert (Now with “Garden of Allah’’) 24 Arabs Toozoonin 10 Arabs Fezzan 12 Arabs Bedouins 9 Arabs Stars of the East 7 Arabs Three Whirlwinds of the Desert Unexcelled troupes of ARAB ENTERTAINERS : in ANY NUMBERS can be supplied at ANY TIME—ANYWHERE in the World.
