    This Clipping From NEW YORK, N. Y. HERALD TRIBUNE MAY 2 1 I9SI Hy Gardner Calling All in a Night-Time If* you wondet what caused the tefeiperature to rise some twenty degrees between 8 o?╟╓clock Sunday night and 8 Monday morning?╟÷the answer was Sophie Tucker?╟╓s and Maurice Chevalier?╟╓s heart-warming appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show. ?╟úI love that Sophie/?╟╓ the most durable idol in modern French history said last night. {?╟ She?╟╓s so great in every ?║g ?╟ way she makes me want to sepd her fah tele grams. It was so funny before we went on the show. Sophie was trembling like a frightened rabbit. You could hardly' hold her without catching some of the shakes yourself.?╟Ñ Weren?╟╓t "you nervous? we Pondered. ?╟ Tm always nervous, I have been nervous all my life before facing &i\ audience. I guess the only time I ,am completely serene is when making movies and no immediate reaction is anticipated. I don?╟╓t think any true artist has so much confidence in him-__ n self that he isn?╟╓t somewhat jittery before Hy Gardner every performance. To most of us every performance is an opening.?╟Ñ js While we were chatting in the foyer of the Waldorf?╟╓s Empire Room, waiting for Mr. Chevalier?╟╓s, cue to go on, a buyer from out of town interrupted to shake hands. ?╟úI must compliment you,?╟Ñ he smiled. ?╟Ñ1 saw you Sunday night on the Ed Allen jShdw and you were magnificent.?╟Ñ ?╟ ?╟ The Ed Sullivan Show,?╟Ñ fMaurice corrected, ?╟úbut I?╟╓d be grateful to him even if he said he I enjoyed me on ?╟ Maverick?╟╓l* The Waldorf, traditional home of the testimonial din-t* ner, has seldom witnessed the scene that is repeated each evening in the Empire Room. From the moment Chevalier I makes his entrance and doffs his straw kady ?╟╓till he makes | a graceful* dancing exit to the tune of ?╟úYankee Doodle Dandy,?╟Ñ he is embraced with sentimental smiles and lusty applause. You ean almost feel the rare chemistry of genuine affection between audience and entertainer. To an artist such a reaction means more than money. Not only is it his only non-taxable reward but a tonic that keeps an oldster of seventy looking, feeling and acting like a youngster. It?╟╓s ; especially becoming to Maurice Chevalier. * . / * * | New York?╟╓s Summer Festival gets a three-strike hypo from * Broadway tonight and tomorrow?╟÷giving the Gray White Way some of the glitter of Las Vegas.

This Clipping From New York, N. Y.f Journal of Commerte & Commercial JUL 10 195S Entertainment On Broadway By ETHEL COLBY The smooth mixture of entertainment at the Latin Quarter is scaled to suit every taste, from i the sophisticate to the lowbrow, and right on up again to the musjic lover. For filmland?╟╓s exquisite singing star, Kathryn Grayson, now occupies its stellar spotlight, making her twice as enjoyable when viewed and heard at close range. -V Kathryn Grayson has been one ; of our pet heroines through the I years. With her coloratura soprano voice that soars upward so jdaintily, and her piquant beauty -mounted in pure femininity, she won scads (rf devotees in fiiose M-G-M musical spectaculars. It?╟╓s being repeated, at th?╟╓e capacity-filled Latin Quarter, where she?╟╓s making a triumphant New York debut, despite the disastrous loss of special costumes and arrangements while en i;oute here from Hollywood. Miss Grayson is a [disciplined, reliable star of the j school which teaches that the public must be pleased. She manages that with contumm ate ease, charming all the while. Jack Durant, I the stalwart comic, proves a solid foil?╟╓in that slot. The audience loved liim, and his long-proven material. But Donn Arden?╟╓s stunning revue, tional Holiday For Love,?╟╓?╟╓ offers far more than just these stars. Martha Errolle is the beauteous singer, who can be advantageously unclad, just like the chorus line. Petite Gina Genardij is another eyeful who sings and cavorts happily. The Bob DeVoye Trio do tricky dances deftly, and Queti Clayijo, the hypnotic Flamenco dancer, is a show in herself. That gal who tajce an onstage shower, raises eyebrows, as do the pair of lovelies who slide overhead like midressed birds in their attractive cages. And the production numbers could vie with any that Flo Ziegfeld dreamt up in that Golden Era. Add the robust singers, John Juliano and Gene Varrone, plus dozens of startling damsels magnificently draped in gossamer stuff, and you may get an?╟╓Tdea of the opulence now being offered by E. M; Loew and Ed Risman at this most popular show-place. The.outsized dance floor provides the alternate rhythms of Jo Lombardi and his orchestra, and Buddy Harlowe?╟╓s band,
