A roving mike or other device, with some added attention, to more sophisticate!^ costuming, wou'd ele- vate the go^lnto the superior. Landre & Verna arc dcilnitely of the hotter bracket In their balh rooming: Startling lifts, excellent, control and fluid whirls set them-] for a flash finish which garners a big mitt. The couple look as well as dance well. Comedian Roger Ray, in the stretch spot, is a clevei* guy whose sprawling xylophone hoke, inter*- larded with slow but Ingratiating chatter, clicks neatly from an un- derstated start. Ray never really gets to play the xylo seriously ex- cept for a brief bit of “My Buddy,” arid even breaks into softshoe as part of his hodge-podge, It’s all breezy stuff and well-liked. Finale, a “Flowers in Spring” routine whicli wraps everything up, is okay. Deryl Knox's rhythms for show- and floor work are tops, Ted. Without name acts but employ- ing talents of first-rate performers at all times, Al Sheehan, veteran Minnesota State Fair amusement director, again has racked up a winner with this Bgmes & Car- i^thers revue. Utilizing an estab- lished format that scrambles spec- tacle with circus and stage offer- ings into a. tasty amusement con-' coction, the show comes through with the sort of diversion that Us audience of 10,000 to 30,000r^xpect and desire. It’s the usual money’s worth at the $1 to $2 scale. » Scattered through the show are four flashy production numbers de- picting, among other things, a day at the races and an autumn fan- tasy. The presence of 28 color- fully costumed dancing and show- girls and 19 male singers lend pre- tentiousness to the extravaganza, even on the huge al fresco stage. In Nip Nelson, who also provokes palm-pounding with his familiar one-man-band, the 10-act revue has a capable emcee whose stock of gags and quips, effective even when bewhiskered, gets a good working over. With Baudy’s greyhounds and monkeys staking a wild west to start the show, there's no time lost in whipping up laughter. Difficult juggling is given a comedy coat- ing by Rudy Cardenas, and then the De Mat^iazis, with their nov* elty transformation turn, slap funnybones and excite astonish- ment. Tanya & Biagi’s neat comedy dancing precedes the comedies of Hap Hazard, whose acrobatics and juggling are sandpapered with some amusing gags and stories. The two Hildalys’ performance on an upside-down imicycle and Evers & Dolores’ wire stunts dip into £aayiE% B. c. Kansas City, Aug. 29. Gus Van; Curry, Byrd k LcRoy, Tony DiPardo Orck' (8); $1 cover. One of the show biz’s beloved performers makes liis nitery debut here as Gus Van doe? a fortnight at this classy downtovm spot. In his 25 minutes on the 'floor, Van proves to be his reputed self with a flock of; new songs, has the pa- trons wax'bling with him, and gen- erally * wraps up the proceedings. His established name on the vaude stages evidently has sdme can^yr over into the cafe world, and house seems to be in for one of its bet- ter two-week periods. Leading off the show Is coniedy- acro threesome of Curry, Byrd k: LeRoy. Turn was a . bit slow on the getaway at show caught with songstress Norma leading the way on “I Feel a Song Coming On” and “Zing Went the Strings of My Heart,” Latter number has a bur- ley tinge as she peels off her skirts to bring comic comment from part- ner LeRoy planted at ringside. She registers much more strongly with “Granada” warbled straight. Curi’y takes over the mike with monolog leading into LeRoy’s heckling. Then turns to acroterp with Norma, is joined by LeRoy, and -three put a fast finish to the turn with Jwo males tossing part- ner about. Van gets things moving in his se^ssion with “No Business Like Show Business” and follows with one of his dialect bits to "McNa- mara’s Band.” Couple of Irish stories lead intou his parody about falsies to “Little Bit of Heaven.” Back to dialept (Italian) as he does the standai'd “Josephine, Rlease Don’t Lean on the Bell.” With his familiar tophat and cane he becomes the minstrel man to warble old songs and di*aws the customers into a community. sing on- “Oh, You Beautiful Doll,” “Carolina in • the Morning,” “Dinah,” and “For Me and My Gal.” “If You Smile, You'll Die” is an effective parody on “Cry’* and its earnest singer, and “Old Man Revenue” Is likewise a clever story of the 'Wiles of the internal revenue bureau, getting him off to a rousing hand. Quih. Motmt Boyal, MotiC^l Montreal, Aug. 31. Bambi Linn k Rod Alexander, Max Chamitov Orch (8) with Norma Hutton,^ Bill Moody Trio; $1.50 cover Sat only. The Bambi Linn-Rod Alexander combo is probably the smoothest and most refreshing young hoofing act to play Montreal In several years. Both grads from the mu- si comedy field, they exhibit socko showmanship with every offering and inject a note of originality into the rather creaky frame of ballroom terping. Couple break fast at opener and continue the pace at top tempo with one exception, their interp of the tune, “Younger Than Spring- time,” which is danced with re- straint and beauty. Quick changes between numbers make act more I ihe thrill backet and have the cu.s- ; tomers gasping.

With the Llnn-Alexander rou- tines going about 20 miriutes> mainlng part of show is taken over by iiouse pianist Max Chamitov, who hokes up a rousing arrarige**. ment of “Humoresque,” and Norma Hutton, who pipes a group of three faves for plaudits, ^Although Miss Hutton’s chirping to date ha« been confined mainly to band singing, gal shows okay possibilities as a single. She has appearance and figure*and with a motp personal- ized songolog would do well in most any intimery.* Music for customer dansapntion and shows is liaridied -brisJdy by the Chamitov orch with the BUI Moody Trio taking the interlude', spots. ' • Newt, ■■ , ; ' 4 London,^ Aug. 28. * Louise Howard, Arnold Bailey Swingtette, Roberto Taylor Rhum* ba Baud; $5.50 minimum. When Louise Howard came <)ver from V New York last year she played several dates at this chic Mayfair cafe with marked success. On her return to these shoros she was (iuickly'booked for a repeat. Recent martiage to an Englishman, which eliminates the necessity oi seeking a work permit^ should hypo Jier potentialities in the cabaret field. Basically, the act is llttU changed from ‘-the material she was using a Bear ago, but the chanteuse has Improved her style., her pipes are strohger, and hei presence Is more assured. She mAkes. a striking impression in an attractive‘white gown. • Miss HowaiTi’s strength Is in he*, appreciation . of cohiedy and her best bits are the novelties she docs In this vein. As an example, sx )4 has three versions of the Whiffen ‘ poof song, one as done by an “ob- noxious happy type, another with exaggei'ated southern drawl and fi* nally by a bored and somewhai raucous nltery vocalist. Also In the lighter key is repeat of her Prohibitionist number and good- bye scenes as they might be played in British, French and Hollywood films. These • lightweight tunes are blended with a few dramatic num- bers to strike an even balance. They are put over in hep style aid- ed by the smart accompaniment' of the Arno’d Bailey combo. In the absence of the vacationing Edmun- do Ros aggregation, the rhythm mude is contributed by the Rober'- to Taylor rhumbaband. Myro. Bi^Ilevue Cuslno^ Montreal, Aug. 31. Franh Marlowe Three WileSi Joe Jac/c,<?ou, Jr., Undine Forrest, Charles Danford, Yvon, Clavel k Farrar, D'AtilU, Casino Line (10). ■Bix Belair Orch (11); Buddy Clay' ton Quartet; $1 admission. For the first, time in the history of Bellevue Casino, a comedian with the standard insult routines, rather aged jokes and the inevita- ble impression's is the star of the show. In a room noted for acts of a strictly visual nature, this is something' extraordinary. That some of the hoary wheezes dragged out by Frank Marlowe on the night caught picked up hefty yocks also’ indicates that the Bellevue follow- ing must be pretty faithful to thi.s spot. In deference to both Mar- lowe and the payees, this comic has a very personable manner dur- ing his 30-minute session and his unpredictable, easygoing way of worTclng plus enough new twists on the old refrains make him a show- stopper. ^ Most polished of all performers in current layout is Joe Jackson, Jr., who clowns around in his tat- tered suit and collapsible bicycle for plaudits. This is comedy in the best tradition and although it is not of the obvious yock type, be- cause of too many subtle bits, it has sustained humor which builds steadily with all patrons to a solid climax. The big Kamarova production , feature.? pianist D’Atllli who plays 1 Tchaikov.sky with authority while Yvon, Clavel & Farrar reprise their threesome ballroomology and Charles Danford and Undine For- rest boost overall spectacle with their okay vocalizing. The Three Wiles take the open- ing spot to plenty of mitting and a.s usual the pony line with the orb-easy showgirls draws top al-
