The scenic arrangements are arlis- programme is one rlot of fun. The lender, Coco, a diminutive albeit very aggressive bantam, always does precisely the opposita of what he is told and then returns to his perch to crow defiantly. He is in- deed a cock with a personality. He brooks no rivals within striking distance, and even defles his trainer when he is made to do anything against his will. The star turn of the programme is a screamingly funny boxing exhibition in a minin turo ring.

I have been condemned by the gaol authorities to a rice-and-water diet for a week. I ask the Court to direct the gaol authorities to restore me to the ordinary pri- soner's diet."
