The band itself is solidly set up, has fine arrangements and boasts men ■who are . individually capable. Its flair lor comedy and hokum is a con venicnt asset and the group number In which by-play between Kenton and' crew adds to merriment for good returns.

Billy Woods, xylophonist. hammers out various. pops of yes- teryears and wins good, hand with, a patriotic medley as his finale. The Slow burn Edgar Kennedy of the films, ably foiled by chattering Florence Lake, Carries this shovy along in fine shape. The bit', slow and lovable character that Kennedy portrays on the screen goes over well on the stage. Florence Lake opens with, some funny chatter,- building up nicely for Kennedy's entrance, after which he gets entangled in. his coat and vest and .announces that he will sing an aria truth "II Trova- tore." With the band he- uses his burning to good" effect, with Miss Lake coming on to turn his ariaing into a jitterbug session. Frankie Roth, now house leader, opens show'with medley, and Hairy Dunn, emcee, brings On Renee Vil- lon, ! \vho does a South American dance with fluorescent trimmings.

Cobbs shares spotlight oii time, hoodling but .variations that had the audience bouncing in rhythm. Hampton was forced to take two curtain bows and another bow from wiiigs after film started be- fore crowd would quiet on show caught. Two basses point up the rhythm in band. Plenty of work is thrown to piano and. guitar,.but the emphasis is' on the brass and reed sections of five.'each, backed by fpyr slides. ' ybcal work is handled by Dinah. Washington, canarying "I'm a Slick Chick" and "Is You Is," and Rubel Blakely on "It Could Happen to You" and "Time Wails For No One."

This chap is clever at voice-throwing, and does a whistling specialty which had 'em begging for more. His dummy. Elmer, is strik- ingly lifelike, and snares a lot of laughs.with his come-backs.
