Twelve years later, Gunther’s “Jungle Drums” elephant number for the 111th Edition would provide yet another example of how production values had improved when Mattel was picking up the tab.

J.C. Hall,
You meant God, AKA Gunther. Moses was only his messenger.

"I mean Moses"
Who led RBBB to the promised land under the direction of "God" AKA "Irving Feld"
PS.Not a real God but like a Volcano God.

J.C.,
Do you mean like a "Bear Mountain Volcano God?"

Irvin wasn't God he was only

"THE EMPEROR"

Unenlightened despotism

Still the only system that

really works in show business

You always knew what he meant

and where he stood

You could even win the odd

argument if you could stand

the heat (but not often)
