Señor Wences


Wenceslao Moreno (April 17, 1896 -- April 20, 1999)  better known as Señor Wences, was a Spanish ventriloquist. His popularity grew with his frequent appearances on CBS-TV's Ed Sullivan Show in the 1950s and 1960s.
Wences was known for his speed, skill, and grace as a ventriloquist. His stable of characters included Johnny, a childlike face drawn on Wences' hand, which he would place atop an otherwise headless doll and with whom Wences conversed while switching his voices between Johnny's falsetto and his own voice at amazing speed.


Born in Spain, Wences became famous as a ventriloquist through his repeated appear-ances on The Ed Sullivan Show, where his act typically includ-ed a puppet face made from his hand, and a disembodied head in box that growled ¬ìS¬awright.¬ He became a pop-cultural icon in later years, with references to his act cropping up in TV shows such as Scooby-Doo, South Park and The Simpsons. He died in 1999, three days after his 103rd birthday. A section of 54th Street in New York, just around the corner from the Ed Sullivan Theater, is named Senor Wences Way in his honor."

 The Importance of Constitutional Peasants
Anarcho-syndicalists regard the state as a profoundly anti-worker institution. They view the primary purpose of the state as being the defence of private property and therefore of economic, social and political privilege, even when such defence denies its citizens the ability to enjoy material independence and the social autonomy which springs from it
