PAMBO, THE SNAKE MAN
There arrived in Wellington by the Awatea on October 11, Pambo, one of Australia's outstanding snake experts with his collection of deadly Australian snakes which includes the venomous brown, black and copperhead. Pambo has had twenty years' experience in handling venomous snakes and has been bitten no less than 500 times during that period. He claims he has an antidote that is infallible and sells his cure wherever he goes in Australia, though New Zealand will not be requiring his cure as. fortunately, there are no snakes here. Much troublo and expense were necessary before Pambo was able to obtain'the necessary permission to bring his collection to New Zealand. This, however, was eventually obtained for a limited period. Pambo will be showing at the forthcoming A. and P. Show on a specially constructed raised platform from which you will, in comfort, be able to look into the pit of death where he will entertain you with his strange and dangerous pets. 'Don't fail to see this unique show. Look for Pambo in the side-sliow area.
