Al- though the performers gave the general impression of inexperience and uneasi- ness in the ring, the revue was, on the whole, entertaining and well organized under the supervision of its Board of Directors. The competent board mem- bers were Jack Torbush as President, Jack Podmajersky, Vice President, and Claire Luedtke, Secretary-Treasurer. The stars of the show did not lack talent or ambition, despite their newness in this type of enterprise. I was surpris- ed at the promising ability of some of them. Along the acrobatic and strong arm line, Jimmy Colucci showed real sportsmanship and athletic achievement in three featured performances along with several other newcomers, Tom Zel- insky, Ray Parenteau, Rudy Schultz, Jack Podmajersky, Sonny Lugara, and Artie Kaulfers. The troop should really be proud of its barkers. Three of them, Barbara Griffith, Doris Kelber, and Claire Luedtke, earned a place on the nation's list of certified barkers because of their cheering ability and vitality. This is an honor not usually afforded members of such a young group, but then, the '48ers seem to have a lot of individuals among them worthy of acknowledgment. Some of its more serious performers, Roger Winters, Pat Benson, Barbara Tirsbier, and Thomas Washburn, received certifi- cates of honor from the Critic Associa- tion for their outstanding scholastic per- formance. The group on the whole was officially recognized in the world of the big tops by being granted a seat on the National Board of Circuses fa council of ten or- ganized for the promotion of circus interests in Americab. This post was filled by Barbara Griffith. In the future years, as the '48ers become better Known, larger representation will be alloted them. Getting back to the merit of the actual show, let me repeat that it did not utilize its potentialities, nor contri- bute much to the field of circus enter- tainment, but there were good reasons for that. The tension of the war and the inexperience of the troop more than a lack of ability or talent made this a mediocre presentation. Therefore, I pre- dict that next year and the years fol- lowing f'Parkls Class of '48 Revue will blossom into a masterful show worthy of the highest honors of the circus world. Time will tell!
