BERTHA VINAYSHINSKY has defected to America three times and been promptly returned on each occasion — for “artistic reasons.” Recently discovered “en omelette” at the Easter Egg Hunt in Washington, D.C. Prima Ballerina Vinayshinsky was hired by the Trockadero, where their inexplicable rise to stardom answers the musical question: Who put the bop in the bop-shibop shibop?

BORIS MUDKO is the Trocks’ newest danseur, having joined only last year. Boris is a drunken but talented Russian from Dzerzhinsk, in the former Soviet Union. He insisted on an audition while the company was on tour. It took some time to sober him up to make him coherent—he was given gallons of tea and several enemas—but finally he was accepted into the company. He has since given up all drink and is doing quite well.
