CAFE DE PAREE, L. A. Los Angeles, Aug. 29 Snappy floor show, plus the show- manly Buddy Fisher (with his band) as m.c, Is helpinL draw pa- tonage to this midtown night spot, for many years labelled Cafe La- Fayette. Show Is somewhat dar- ing; in fact, it features a female impersonator and has half a dozen of the 10 line girls doing a near strip that leaves little to the im- . agination. Leon LaVerda is the femme por- trayer, and sports a collection of gowns that would do justice to any prima donna. No wig-puU at the finish, although no secret is made of his sex. It's by far the outstanding feature of the show, although Mar- ine Lewis, torch warbler, runs a close second in grabbing off the au- dience approbation. ' Routine Is about the ordinary run of local shows of this type, with the Fisher band of 11 men providing hot rhythm, both for the show and for dancing. Two complete shows nightly, with a material and cos- tume change for both. Edwa.
