But out of Iturbi’s keyboard comes haunting music and out of Schwarz’s keyboard comes nothing but strong blasts of air. The air blasts come up tHrough holes in the floor. They are intend ed to blow skirts up over the heads of unwary lady patrons of the Fun House in the Palisades Amusement Park, across the Hudson River in New Jersey. Schwarz, a tall greying man with eyes like an eagic, is the nowledged dean of his strange pro- fession, He has been at it now. for 27 years. “TE guess I’ve tifted the skirts of over. six -million Jadies in that time,” he estimated, ‘‘and I sup. pose that is a record:” His performance has a classic simplicity.

Raodesian spokesmen say _pri- vately that CAF—spunsored by the British government—in ‘time would become a pro-British bastion in I've had my share of dirty looks— | and nasty remarks.” Roscoe philosophically shrugs these off as: the criticism any artist must face. After all these years he still en- joys his work. And he has reached a few conclusions about the ladies. | “They look trimmer today than they did years ago They wear less outer clothing now than they used to—but more underclothing. And their favorite color for now seems to be blue.” | But Roscoe definitely has a nos- talgic feeling for. the wide-skirted fashions of other days. “The last couple of years women have gone back to tight hobble skirts,” he complained. ‘‘You get | no results at all with them.
