Ah idea of her: draw, despite the fact that shie was. cpinT pletely .uhknowh to American audir ences, can be gathered from the fact that her take for last week, her first; was $1,900. - Mis.<; Amaya is actually a troupe: of 16, only three of- whom,, two sisters; Antpriia and Lenor, and Sabicas, non- relative guitarist, are iiiipbrtant to the; floor show. For brie of Sendrita Amaya's routines, her father, three .^isters, three brothiers, an uncle and ty/jo eousins;.- pliis' Sabicas, give her muricfil arid vocal siijpport. but other- wise they are strictly on the payroll: Rest of - the 16 are none-wbrkihg re'.atives. ■ :.

It's apoareiitly right up the alley of the visiting Spaniards and Latin Americans, their applause being al-. most continuous whUe she's dancing.
