    The group travelled thousands of miles to check on a report of a spectacular specialty act that might be included in the show. Or they would hop on an intercontinental jet to inspect a scenic wonder which might be reproduced as a lavish production number. For a show whose history has seen such spectacles as the burning of a city or a dam breaking and flooding a village right on stage, the men responsible for the latest edition must strive mightily.
