Seigel's showmanship has become unique on Broadway. He Is not the first of the talent exploiters yet he is about alone right now In the way he digs 'em, rehearses 'em, dresses em, and sells 'em.

And what faults there are may be spotted only by profession als. On the face of It, as far as the general public is concerned, it's a good, pleasant hour's entortaln ment. Which ia, aflar aO» 'llplit really counts. Fanchon & Marco do not bother labeling the show, but It might have been called something like 'Dances of the Year.' Starts with an exposition of tlie Cucaracha, goes on into the 'Merry Widow' waltz at about the half-way stage, and closes with the Continental, all Inspired by filmuslcals. Those three dances all being emphasized In pro- duction numbers that do not startle, but—much better—stand out. Opening has the line In Mexicuni doing the cucaracha nicely and In cute, coiatuihes.

Twelve girls march on for a cancan in the fore ground. It's a fair Imitation of the real thing (even though It has noth- ing to do with Maxim's, belonging really, to the Tabarin or spots like that) and march off. More could have, and should have, been made of this number. Audience barely realized what the girls were at tempting and, Just about as they became interested. It was all over. Perhaps the cancan dance Is too diflficult for an American line to really do well, but It's worth play- ing with and developing Into a full Item on Its own In some other show. 'Merry Widow' waltz Is Installed here, boys and girls In a nice rou- tine, highlighted by a center waltz by Nadlne and Toby. Not to change too drastically from the cre- ated atmosphere, Rita Bell, next, starts off her singing with a French number, then alngrlng another pop- Sb^'a from radio, formerly with the Harold Siem oroheatra, fnd okay, although the botiae PJkii ayiteiift was unkind to bar on the itlgbt «a«sht.
