Happy frenzies by a pickup New Orleans "joy maker band" that sounds superbly at home in such traditional numbers as Over in Gloryland and All the Gals Like the Way I Ride. Fine solo work by Trumpeter Humphrey and by Albert Burbank, a veteran Creole musician who uncoils his tart clarinet in nights of eloquent enthusiasm...

Elsa's life in the bush did not affect her extraordinary trust of Mrs. Adamson; the author tells, for instance, of being allowed to feel the lioness' abdomen...
