Mother and child are currently traveling up and down Northern and Southern Rhodesia holding healing services. Last week, before mud huts and in forest clearings, Elias opened his services to open-mouthed Africans: "Do not mock that a child should dare to speak to his elders, because I bring you the words of God."

The ensuing titles compete hopelessly with a series of TV commercials, totally irrelevant, but so distractingly zany that nobody will pay the least attention to the screen credits. Success roars onward, steadily more outrageous, shamelessly promoting forthcoming Fox movies (Peyton Place, Kiss Them for Me) and donating scads of free ad space...
