What occurred was the opposite of what the entertainer had schematized. Apparently, the eyes of the costume reflected the red light which lit the entire hall. Consequently, instead of looking like a large harmless cartoon character, the costume had glowing red eyes and a devilish smile that sent the crowd into a frenzy.
Children started yelling for their parents and some children ran out of the hall. The funniest thing that my eyes caught - and one of the funniest things that I have seen in my life - was a grown woman rebuking Mickey Mouse and calling upon the God of Abraham and Isaac to deliver her from the demon which was terrorizing the hall.
