JERRY MORGAN ^Harmonica j'9' Mins./ . ..*■■' / ^ Palace, N- Y. ■ : Jerry .is 3 . good ntusj- ciam as is deunonstrated by - his work on llie hanp.onica. He has a nice interpretative flair and a feeiifig" for bHues type music. His act, however. Is.. handicapped by some meaningiess . gimmicks.. One of them is billled as an impression of two harmonicas.which is mere- ]ly blowing bn two consecutive \ reeds. Another is his reaching I for a high note* which actually \ requires no- more effort than any ■ other note. This kind of spurious showmanship cannot be worked on the mouth organ for good effect, since most everybody, at one time or another, has. tried his skill on iflat instrument, and-audiences are quite familiar with what the har- monica can do. Morgan, however, can : concen- trate inoire bn his music. He has one good gimmick at the close, that, helps him off. He does a mild bit of softshoeing while blowing out a tune.

Moulin Rouge, Paris Three young American dancers, two well-built boys and a Solid- chassied gal. have formed a terp act here. Act is a series of dance vlgnets mostly in the myth cate- goiy with ttse boys playing agitated fauns to the girl s intpassioned re- actions. Trio are good in style and virtuosity, but are more the type of act that needs a surrounding show 'ox; atmosphere to put them to best advantage. As is they are eye-catching and rate big mitting here, but dances tend to jbe repeti- tive when played as a whole act without benefit of breaks or fill-ins. . If tdo rounded diit the act with ihbre subtle numbers,; this would be a good bet for niteries, vaude or musical revue spotting. Mask. page l Too often, figures indicate, an act will do turnaway business in' the main room where there is no cover or minimum—but after 'the show is over, the crowd disperses.

PaUadimn, London : ' After a promising run in radio and TV* this British comic gets his big break in the current Palla- dium bill and turps in a shrewd performance which reveals an im ventive wit and a reliable stage technique.

There's plenty of room for development of style and projection but it should all come to hiin With more playing time. He’s got a good start .with, a set of -.legitimate pipes and youth- ful; goodlooks. Surefire bait for femme fans. : •Negro singer opens with an efr, fective rendition of “I. Believe,” slows up with an ineffectual baU lad, “Wonder Why,” but regains for strong exit with “Nearness of You.” Technique on all is clear and forthright and lacks only showmanly excitement. , Once he gets that he’ll be on his Way: ■ . ■.- ' Gtos: ■ Personal Mgl.

How- ever, the majority of/attorneys feel that the. bankruptcy discharges the personal manager. Leases and other type contracts have been cited as examples. AFM’s for P.M/s Unioneers who have been study- ing the problem feel that bank- ruptcy is an extreme measure and the entertainer should not be. forced into a step of this kind, and thus, the union has to And some ■ way of stepping into this situation. Precedent for such a step has been established by. the American Fed- eration of Musicians, which has. a 5% ceiling for personal managers. Another factor that makes such a step necessary, according to the board members, is the increasing use of personal managers by rising entertainers. Basis for this lies in the fact that with television be- coming an increasingly important integer, many acts have been .go- ing to . the large , agencies in tlie belief that the majors would be more successful in that field. Once ih the majors, the act gets the idea that he’s just another name on a list and thus hooks up with a p.ni., feeling that he’ll heckle the majors | for work. Some indie agents have, already turned to personal manage- ment, and others new to show busi- - ness.are being drawn into manage- ment. Tliys the p.m. ranks are ris- ing, many being unqualified to handle.such tasks.
