The reason you can't see the text is because the demo is designed to run on
a PAL Amiga.  PAL has 256 vertical lines in lo-res on the Amiga so if you
run the demo on an NTSC Amiga you lose the bottom 56 lines--the scrolling text.

The solution is to get a PAL Amiga or convince the demo programmers (this
particular demo is from France as you know from reading the text) to produce
demos that are compatible with NTSC.  You'll notice that many/all of these
European demos are meant for PAL (wonder of wonders!) since PAL is used in
Europe.  Darn!
