Nothing elaborate, you un¬ derstand. I just want to say ‘hello,’ to sing a little and I hope to enter¬ tain.” These modest ambitions have al¬ ready been fulfilled. “Success is so marvelous,” she admits. “Why, I can do anything I want to do!” Four men and a girl: Jane rehearsing at her apartment with The Vikings (who are left to right, Walter Russell, Jim Perrin, John Barry and Richard Scott) for TV show.
