tress/singer/dancer, he now resides in New York.

GEORGE FAISON (Choreographer), who won a Tony Award for his brilliant choreography for The Wiz, leads the George Faison Universal Dance Experience. A native of Washington, Mr. Faison has studied dance with Thelma Hill, Louis Johnson, James Truitte and Dudley Williams. His first professional job was in 1966 when he was Lauren Bacall's TV dance partner. At the urging of jazz great Miles Davis, who has made all his music (published and unpublished) available to Mr. Faison, he formed his dance company, which made its New York debut April 4, 1971 and has been steadily gaining in both critical and popular appeal. Mr. Faison has choreographed Broadway's Don't Bother Me, I Can't Cope, performed in Purlie and most recently choreographed and directed Inner City for the New Theatre in Washington. He has also choreographed for such artists as Stevie Wonder, Robert Flack, Eartha Kitt and Melba Moore.

GEOFFREY HOLDER (Director, Costumes) is one of the few ever to have won two Tony Awards in the same year: As Director and Costumer for The Wiz. He was a featured dancer in House of Flowers and premier danseur in Aida and La Perichole for the Metropolitan Opera. He has been lauded for his choreography, costumes and decor for Jeux des Dieux, a work commissioned by the Harkness Ballet, also for his choreography, costumes and music for the Dance Theatre of Harlem's ballet, Dougla, and for several works by the Boston Ballet for his wife, dancer-actress Carmen de Lavallade, who is a member and professor of the Yale Repertory Company. As an actor, he most recently starred as Baron Samedi in Live and Let die with Sean Connery, having also starred opposite Rex Harrison in Doctor Doolittle. He has numerous TV credits including Anrocles and The Lion, A Man Without A Country, Aladdin and The Bottle Imp, and starred on Broadway in Waiting for Godot. He has won awards for Best Performance as an announcer for BWIA and Uncola commercials and was guest critic for NBC-TV news in New York. Mr. Holder is also the author of two books,Black Gods, Green Islands, and Geoffrey Holder's Carribean Cookbook, as well as being an award-winning painter. Presently he is at work on the movie Death is My Pardon, by Jacques Sigurd, which will star Jeanne Moreau and Oliver Reed. Mr. Holder says that all in all, the love of his life is his son, Leo.

KEN HARPER (Producer), who was honored with a Tony Award as producer of the Best Musical of 1975, conceived the idea of a contemporary version of L. Frank Baum's classic, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, some two years ago and eventually left his position of Program Affairs Director of

South America. You should be there!

It's the land where the American dollar goes farther and where like the opposite of the King Midas, everything you touch seems to be half the price you'd expect to pay.

From the thick green jungles of the Amazon to the thin blue mountain air high in the Andes. From noisy Indian Markets to tranquil stretches of palm fringed beach.

You should be there. And Braniff can make it happen.

We know the hotels, the restaurants, the casinos, and the beaches. We even know when and where the Marlin are running.

In short, we know South America like the back of our hand. We ought to, we've been flying there and back for a very long time.

See your travel agent or write for our colorful tour brouchers.
