Twisted!

A new "Twist" king has hit Wellington. He made his first appearance before delighted hundreds at the Capping Ball. Giving his fans little inkling to just where his true talent lay, he started by soothing them right down with a cool blue rendering of "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes." Female freshers, with tears streaming down their faces, led the general outcry of approbation at the conclusion of this number.

Then, with the versatility which is the mark of a true artist, "Little Dick," as he prefers to be known, set the whole place shaking with a tortured, pleading, way out, way off beat version of "The Twist." At the conclusion of this number, the only disgruntled person in the Town Hall was the saxophonist, for whom "Little Dick's" amazing ad Jibbing was too much.

Questioned as to future performances, "Little Dick" said his next appearance would be at the Law Faculty's Stein Evening.
