First seasonal segment looks to have enough classic vaude_ acts and name value to. give it an Though this house usually can again testifies to the shaky state of two-a-day here after a renaissance five years ago.

He has yet to get the m terial ‘and individuality for ‘limn-. ing a simple .minded little man forever in trouble. Jean Siegfried has too sharp 2 voice which jars rather than pleases. He also needs a clearer song repertoire and emphasis. But | there is a budding individuality that could be exploited in toning down his voice. Luska Dancers give some pro duction value with tragic. ballets; about tropical sin and some okay. ‘Latino bits. Their. terping is acceptable for house needs. Two of the best fillers are in the |, acro' category. The Two. Peters. have a comely muscular woman undering while her equally mus-' cular male partner does handstand. leaps from various tables.
