Mime Troupe
Plays At Abbey
An unusual en
tertainment experience
occurred on January 29
at Belmont Abbey
College with the ap
pearance of The Mad
Mountain Mime Troupe.
Mad Mountain wrapped
the sounds of music
around the silent arousal
of feelings that is mime to
produce their own unique
magic.
The Troupe has per
formed before several
million people on their
tours of Canada, Mexico
and the U.S. Featured
were C. W. Metcalf, one
of the world’s fpremost
pantomime artists, and
his co-performer Tom
Pierce, formerly a
Barnum and Bailey
clown, with the music of
guitatist-singer Tim
Bays.
Metcalf and his Troupe
elicited from their
audience every emotion
from frivolity to profound
pathos. They exercise the
imagination and
stimulate the intellect
with contemporary
philosophical messages
and clever universal
themes that were
exquisite in their brevity.
