Sands* Las Veras Ezio Pinza is taking his immer- sion into nitery floods quite hard. Apparent nervousness puis him in •a state of deepfreeze—both hands clamped securely on the micro- phone?, as a possible lifesaver through his melodic churnings. In spite of a frozen attitude, the name itself is enough to lure capacity audiences into the Copa Room each show. Someone failed to tip the basso off as to routining and delivery within this new (for him) medium. Rigidly standing before a mike and blasting away with big pipes makes for distortion, both ^trans- port and in the selling of his wares. Repertoire is on the stodgy side until he breaks into a couple of Italian folk songs. Atmosphere grows lighter, and. he begins to relax. Calling up his w.k. “This Nearly Was Mine,” from “South Pacific,” retains a less transfixed delivery, and the only use of hands occurs in “Some Enchanted Eve- ning,” but even this in stilted ges- ture as he arcs a direction upon reaching the line, “Across a crowded room.” Break-in here at the Sands for three frames will doubtless bring more ease. However, to click sol- idly With such diverse crowds as fill such Vegas ^gambling haunts, Pinza could reconstruct his entire repertoire and still eschew the banal in choice of songs. Undoubtedly, his .return for one month next January will; see such changes and a more easygoing artist, which Pinza definitely is, nerves or no. Will.

Apollo* N. Y, „ Lady Odiva is a sepian version Of Divena. It’s a similar turn of underwater undressing and ballet with an offbeat appeal and a good booking potential. Should dd okay also in the intermediary niteries. She works in a tank with plexi- glass front giving ample view of her aquabatfes and strip. Well- stacked and graceful. Lady Odiva sends across waves of s.a. through- out the stint. Tank room limits her movement but she manages some exotic turns and spins. Strips ^casually from flowing evening gown down to bikini for eye-rivet- ing effect. Dim lighting techniques hypo mood. Gros. CHERYL CORBY Organ 30 Mins. Blackstone Hotel* Omaha Cheryl Corby, sc blonde looker with talent, Is the best single to hit this class spot in years. And a packed room for each of her four nightly sessions has boomed bar biz terrifically although tariff is steep. Miss Corby* dressed in a low-cut, bright green gown night catight (St. Pat’s), doesn’t confine her talents to the Hammond. She one- hands it most of the time, using her other mitt to tickle a small xylophone perched atop the organ, to play a piano at her side, to rattle castanets or to wave at w. k. guests. She’s a good bet for the better spots. Trump.

Jfz j( i (•» <■') | costarrer preems March 30 at the Mayfair, N. Y., following the run of Metro’s “Above and Beyond.” In what probably is the heaviest saturation campaign for a feature picture to hit-Gotham TV, the Mayfair has bought a big 12-day spot.drive on WCBS*TV and WOR- TV, N. Y„ for “Jeopardy.” Drive, already under way, calls for 81 10-, 20- and 60-second an- nouncements on WCBS-TV alone. That's the biggest splurge for a picture on the outlet since Loew’s State’s campaign last year for RKO’s “Sudden Fear.” Buy was made through Donahue & Coe agency, with Terry Turner, of Gen- eral Tele-radio, who also evolved the “Sudden Fear” strategy, work- ing on the deal. I)'*'-. »h *8V>; > .r.v-1’ 1)1 i SUSANNE LASZLO Songs . 17 Mins. Barclay Hotel, Toronto Susanne Laszlo is a little girl with a big voice in the Continental style. A pale-faced redhead in black, she has a high soprano and lots of that Gallic fervor in deliv- ery, complete with dramatic tem- ple-clutching and running the lin- gers through her hair when the lyrics deal with unrequited love, but she can also §witch to the more bouncy tempo—and she spurns the mike. In her first cafe date on this side of the pond, she shows plenty of the European characteristics identified with the chanteuse style, marked by no songs in English hut a de- livery plenty dramatic and over to enthusiastic response. Half-pint shows lots of talent and training, looks, plus that patter acent fa- vored by nitery customers, and is tops for any visual medium. McStay. ZIPPY & LEE Chimpanzee 15 Mins. Village Barn, N, Y, Zippy & Lee comprises a cliim- anzee and his trainer.. It's th$ kind of act that’s more appropriate for school demonstrations than a nitery, but there are few who wouldn’t be charmed by the simian no matter in what medium he’s' presented. Lee seems to be a seri- ous chap who seem^ to know a great deal about the care and training of these upright mammals. This cute chimp roller skates, does simple chores such as feeding himself with a spoon, and a couple of simple dance steps. There aren’t enough tricks to form an act in the professional sense unless some humorous gimmicks were thrown in: In its present state it’s little more than a display of rais- ing and house-breaking chimps, but an entertaining one at that. Jose. EMITT SLAY TRIO Instrumental „ 10 Mins. Apollo, N-Y. This is a driving combo that’s sure to click on the rhythm & blues belt. Comprised of organ, electric guitar* and drums, group produces a frenetic beat and an offbeat sound that adds up to ex- citing listening. A solid bet for jazz nitery work. With Emitt Slay on guitar, Rob- ert White on organ and Jacktown on drums, trio drives across such r.&b. tunes as “Greasy Spoon,” “Woman’s Last Words,” “My Kind of Woman” and “Brotherly Love.” White handles the bulk of the vocal assignments in a blueshout manner that gets top-response. All are standout instrumentalists and repertoire is well-integrated: One of the best Negro combos to come along in some time. ,Gm.- . in •) )'K-'. ti o*'■ = 41 ( AT&T Hogging Continued from page 4 tional Exhibitors Theatre Televi- sion Committee, conceded that AT&T may be qaulified to furnish a theatre tele service. “But that is not the basic issue,” it asserted. “The fact is that they have not in the past furnished, either in quan- tity, or quality, service sufficient to meet the industry’s minimum re- quirements ...” Furthermore, the reply sadded, “it was not until the pressure of this (FCC) proceeding forced, the issue that the company indicated, even as vaguely as it now speaks, when, where and how soon it could furnish the service desired in any quantity. Moreover, the cost in- formation which it has furnished to date affords no reliable infor- mation* of what charges will be proposed.” Referring to AT&T’s testimony before the FCC that it can meet transmission requirements for large-screen TV, the industry questioned the value, of this testi- mony without cr&ss-examination. Also, it pointed out, representa- tions by AT&T that it ’ is in .the public interest to have general common carriers • furnish theatre TV service are “argumentative” and not tested under cross-ques- tioning. Finally, the industry«told FCC, “in addition to its persistent re- fusal to recognize the require- ments of the theatre TV industry,”. company’s inability to meet cur- rent needs is further handicapped by demands of the broadcasting industry for network service. The picture industry declared that, notwithstanding AT&T’s in- terpretation of its “compromise” plan, it has not abandoned its orig- inal request for exclusive chan- nels. It is prepared also to go ahead at hearings before the. Com- mission to support an exclusive al- location t>f frequencies, “if the case is to proceed in that "direc- tion.” Continued from page 3 portant factor, additionally. Ex- hibs overseas, it’s presumed, will follow the lead taken by their U. S. counterparts. Majority of theatre ops abroad will stay with 2-D, particularly in situations where native product—British, French, Italian,' etc.—is. given a play equal to o/r even greater than American imports. There obvi- ously will be a scramble among other, distribs for the added' play- ing time in these spots caused by the absence’of new 20th 2-D pix.
