Levanda & Van, two gals balancing balls and boards on soles of their feet, fol- low adequately.- Billed as '•‘The Harpist/' Hylda Baker proves n.s.g. comedienne, in first-half with male partner. Strong indigo touch is noticeable in her crosstalk, femme seated at piano and tagllning with the phrase, "You’ve Got A Lot to Learn.” Fin- ishes With “A Guy Is A Guy” and exits to mild mitting. Desmond & Marks,, male comics, are slightly above average run of quality in eccentric dancing and comedy. Have much business with a couple of chairs, and raise yacks when one partner catches his hand and nose In large-size mousetrap retrieved from near footlights. Exits to strong applause. Jack & Mary Kinsorr have un- usual line In magico chores, work- ing with paper butterflies, playing cards and white mice in a minia- ture doll's house. Biggest hand is given the duo when mice are made to vanish. Gal, brunet looker, changes costume thrice during act to surprise of femme stallholders. Hush of anticipation fails over auditorium in closing stages of support bill, which proves slightly above average for usual accom- panying .acts they give expensive topliners here. Many in audience are impatient for the U. S. singer, giving minor and muffled boos to act just before him, English come- dienne Hylda""Baker in a femme Home Guard sketch with a dead- pan partner. Showmanship is used in announcing Ray, front curtain falling and nearly a minute elaps- ing before specially augmented orch, clad in red coats, strike up the music on stage. Howl of de- light greets the mousy-haired sing- er in his run-on, carrying a hand- mike and opening with “Little White Cloud.” Ray belt out the numbers, clutch- ing often at the air, twisting his face into sad-sad grimaces, panting for breath at end of numbers, and generally emoting full-scale. He thanks stubholders frequently and adds comedy touch by wearing bowler hat in “Somebody Stole My Gal.” Stubholders couldn’t have been more enthusiastic, though singer's careless drawl and noisy nature of orch at beginning made some parts hard to catch. Biggest ovation is for his “Cry,” but similar warm mitting for “Walkin’ My Baby,” “Please Mr Sun,” “Glad-Rag Doll” and “All Of Me.” • Singer, a show biz phenomenon here, exits to solid hand-to-hand music. First segment is closed by Danish twin trapeze act, Krista & Kristel, blonde gals with real aero talent ,.(New Acts). Vi, Joe & Vic Harvard are two boys and a gal who register well in balancing plus comedy, all be- ing dressed as college undergrads. Act has youth and freshness. Interests of.vaude could be bet- ter served if below-average acts were deleted from topline bills such as this. Mediocre materiaFj causes bad word-of-mouth for vari- ety when theatre is jampacked such as* this for a U. S. big name. Vaudery, with two extra matinees, is doing SRO despite prices, being upped 50%. Cord. the Pichons in their romance ducts and Bobby Brant in smooth and nonchalant ballet-tap aero and a neat “Hot Canary” soft-shot Emitting bill throughout as emcee is Bruce Stevens, who opens second half with his own trumpet act, including signatures of name bands, impressions of top trumpet- ers in the business, and a stint at the baby grand for straight play in * of “Warsaw Concerto.” Segues into boogie woogie and then a hot trumpet finish to ovation. The Tokayers who get wham re- ception for their rapid tumbling teeterboard spins to three-mari shoulder mounts and chair catches all to terrific speed.

Bobby Breen, ^ The Tokayers (6), Jackie Marlin , Bobby Brant , Jorden Sc Parvis, The Pichons, Bruce Stevens, Les Barker, Archie Stone House Orch ; “Washington Story” (M-G). Bobby Breen, back in his home- town as headliner, is over big, to- gether with all acts, notably Bruce Stevens and Bobby Brant, but it’s the Tokayers, six men in their teeterboard spins and catches, who garner the top audience reception for speed and thrills. Breen opens with a bouncy "Casey Jones” and a railway song medley. His “It’s the End of the World to Me,” a romantic ballad reputedly out for record release next week, a log of his old songs when he was a prodigy in films, plus reminiscent chatter climaxes with his “Rainbow on the River,” show the youngster in fine form on those high and held tenor notes. Jorden & Parvis, in evening clothes, open show with their nifty tapping and heel work, leaps and catches, all marked by suave ap- pearance. Les Barker goes .over with his rapid animated cartooning projected on back screen. Jackie Marlin is oke in his Impersonation*- 5^53,^ -gfO. Zanuck Briefs Continued from page 1 Zanuck, solo film industry rep on the advisory council of the Amy's Chief Signal Officer, came here as an individual and not as spokes- man for Hollywood. However, his huddles dealt with the part motion pictures could play in the overall program of U. S. informa- tion abroad and he said later that other picture toppers would doubtless be asked here for meet- ings. Asked whether he would take a job under his friend, President Eisenhower, Zanuck explained that “I was not offered a job and I could not accept one. I am.current- ly too deeply tied up in the de- velopment of Cinemascope. How- ever, I am happy to serve my coun- try in an advisory capacity when- ever asked to.” The 20th vice-president met on Friday morning with Douglas Mae- Arthur 2d, Counsellor of the State Dept., and other department officials to discuss aspgct^ of a moire potent film program to help the overseas information program. His afternoon meeting was with C. D. Jackson and his White House committee of experts on in- ternational propaganda. Discussion dealt largely with the use of mo- tion pictures as a strategic weapon in the worldwide cold war. Some of the talk was about our entertain- ment pictures in the- export mar- ket. Zanuck said emphatically there was no discussion of cen- sorship or even self-censorship of these films. Then the studio topper reported' to President Eisenhower Saturday morning on the meetings.” It .was “the first time * I saw* him* since election,” said Zanuck. Creation of a separate- overseas information program would re- move 10,000 employees from the State Dept and reduce the depart- ment's budget by $95,000,000. Nel- son A. Rockefeller headed the special committee . which recom- mended the separation to the President. Sec. of State John Fos- ter Dulles has indicated that he will not object to such a move. Robert L. Johnson, former presi- dent of Temple U. in Philadelphia, is the new chief of the informa- tion administration and would doubtless head a separate .agency if it is created. N.Y. Theatre Continued from page ^S exact, that Raybond entered the picture. According to David Weinstock, Raybond topper, he-first learned of the bracelet find during a routine telephone conversation with Sam- uel J. Kenny, manager of the the- atre. Weinstock said Kenny told him that the ‘theatre and Bond would receive publicity, since pho- tographers and reporters would be present when the assistant mana- ger went to the r police to claim the bracelet. Weinstock said he immediately objected to that procedure, and no- tified the police to withhold de- livery of the bracelet. Theatre op claims the property is rightfully that of the theatre, since it was found bn its premises by Bond, an employee. Bond reportedly coun- tered Weinstock’s action by enter- ing a suit against the police to re- linquish the bracelet. Police are currently holding the property pending a court ruling. Bond and Kenny are no longer employees of the Normandie as of last Friday <1Q).
