Rather a brief stay, but it's better to bo brief and bright than to drag it out with stalies. Vine's stuff Is smart and well handled. Annie, Judy and Zeke lack the conviction of the usual hillbilly act. They stress too hard for awkw.ard- ness and therefore lose convincing- ness. Still, they were over for plenty.
