They are more sophisticated and have a greater concept of the world because of television, but they still have to grapple with the same problems as to how to put their knowledge to STRUTHERS: "There are no audiences like child audiences. I remember when I did The Leningrad Ice Show in Russia, probably the most happy moment I experienced was seeing those kids sitting there all dressed up the girls with bows in their hair-and just glowing as they watched us perform!"
