and Jack Rains. Bluebell girls and Les Lido Modeles wore plastic masks, as befit this routine. Les l Lucky Latinos, three* talented European brothers, presented an acro- batic dance number with comedy that tore down the house. Again, Alaria and his ballet group returned for Amour Brezilien which captured the fancy of the crowd. The crowning effect of the show, The Giant Waterfall, stole the entire spotlight for the evening in Enchant- ment D?╟╓Amour with Alfredo Alaria, Maria Elena Roo, Beverly Richards and ?╟≤all the boys and girls. Comedy returned as the only act held over from the previous Lido show, Gerard Sety repeated his performance with the aid of his partner, a bus boy, which panicked the audience. Amours Royales A Versailles featur- ing Beverly Richards, Jack Rains and Marion Conrad brought the festive production to the finale, The Rain of Eire, featuring fireworks. The electronic stages, lighting, and the fine music of Eddie O?╟╓NeaI and his orchestra combine to make this another sensational Lido show.

John Juli- ano sang well in the Fantaisie Japon- aise.. \ Bare bosoms took a backseat to the breath-taking gowns created in Paris and displayed with beauty by the Les Bluebell girls and the Les Lido Mod- eles. The personal beauty of the girls surpassed those of the previous Paris show. Nine superb production numbers, magnificently staged with outstanding lighting effects caused the packed house to applaud long after the final curtain. Operring with Les Amours de Paris, the show traveled at a fast pace throughout. Following came Guajira D?╟╓Amour starring Alaria and his ballet.
