    Qult teadeur DI LINE CAPTAIN KEEPS TAB ON 52 BACKSTAGE *Ffolliott "Fluff" LeCoque, Desert Inn line captain, rides |herd on a total of 52 dancers, singers and showgirls for the DFs smash "Hello America" revue. Backstage, her word is law. She learns all the dance routines, staging, and in an emergency, can fill in for any of the 52. In addition, she instructs ?√ßiiall replacements and understudies and even assists with the auditions along with producer Frank Sennes and choreogra- [ pher Donn Arden. "This is not a typographical error. This is the correct spelling. Fluff arrives backstage about 45 minutes before showtime and checks attendance, looks over the wardrobe and make-up; and makes certain each dancer or showgirl is in the proper place for each production number. Once a week there is a clean-up rehearsal to correct any; flaws that might develop during the week and tighten a number that may get a little out of hand after months and months of performances. For one reason or another, Fluff so far this season has filled in for dancers, the girl who plays Shirley Temple, Dracula and the singers. Her talents are varied and necessary to a show of the proportions of "Hello America." tHfe D?Θ╝S6RT INN LINE captain FFOtllOTT UC0QU6
