Longview, Texas MORNING JOURNAL (Cir. D. 14,267 S. 23,988) NOV 12 1SS7 N ,.,,..,,.:,.,.;..,^.,.y.v:.ij.,...,..,,.?╟?v S VEGAS LIMELIGHT \ By Barney Glazer Never has the famous Strip offered a better balance of entertainment. Put these on your scales: two standup comedians, a famous television show star, four noted male vocalists, a comedy team, a major motion picture male star, a lady comic, a musical comedy leading lady, four spectacular revues, a musical comedy bound for Broadway and a singing femme trio. If you see what you want, there's no need to ask for it. For the first time in his career, Tony Curtis is appearing in a nightclub. He's hosting the "Hollywood Palace" show, starring Tammy Grimes, at Caesars Palace. This show continues for four weeks, then gives way to another "Palace" segment, as yet unannounced. Theodore Bikel opens at Caesars Dec. 28 in "Fiddler on the Roof" for at least a six-month run. Casting of Bikel plucked exactly the right string for "Fid-, dler." He's the perfect choice among all eligibles available. Belle Barth and The Checkmates currently headline Nero's Nook at Caesars. Plenty of" zip and variety in this lavishly lush spot. RED FOXX, carrot - thatched prince of put-ons, is adding the :r spice to the Aladdin Hotel with his racy, riotous routines. Don't I invite Red to your church bene- j fit or girl scout circuit. He em- j barrasses easily. Never know [ what the clergy or kids will do j or say. Polite language is not j Red's cup of tea. It's a differ- ent story at the Aladdin. There, Foxx is at home with his rare I ribaldry for adoring adults. ?╟≤/^VPZAZZ! '68!" at the Desert Inn is as interesting as watch- j ing two drivers trying to move into the same freeway lane from opposite directions. This revue has a sure - fire recipe for * spreading happiness. Don't miss it. "CASINO de Paris" at t Dunes, Le Lido de Paris Stardust, and Folies Bergere at the Tropicana are the cream puff revues, the old faithfuls of the Strip. The nudity of t h e young ladies is a far.cry from grandma who used to wear five petticoats. But then, grandma had to sit on a horse hair sofa. PHYLLIS DILLER removes her eccentricities from the (Flamingo Show next week._Peggy the Lee and Myron Cohen follow Nov. 16. When Peggy isn't singing, she's talking about her grandchild. Peggy Lee a grandmother? What happened to 1942? Myron Cohen is a gentleman storyteller. If he ever told an unfunny story, I think I'd laugh anyway. But Myron never told an unfunny story. EDDIE FISHER is drawing well at the (Frontier Hotel. No ; matter what kind of trouble Eddie gets into, and he has a penchant for it, he never falls 1 down. The public apparently : finds itself attracted to the troubled. Personally, I think they expect him to discuss his private life and they'd like to be on : hand when he sp/lls the 'details. ; But Eddie isn't talking. He's singing. A' j MARTY ALLEN and /Steve } Rossi headline the /Riviera Ho- | tel's funfest. Bushy - haired ! Marty and ravishing Rossi keep | their act well oiled. They're de- j termined not to rust on tneir laurels. Vic Damone's singing I is adding the voltage to the Rivi- | era's Starlite Theatre. JOHNNY CARSON is headlin- j ing at the Sahara Hotel while ; vacationing from the Tonight ! Show. Johnny owns a home in Las Vegas with two garage j doors marked "His" and | Hers." Has anyone noticed that | his wife's door is two feet wider I than Johnny's? COMEDIAN Jackie Carter | and singer Frankie Randall head the Sands" Hotel show. Sammy Davis Jr., follows Nov. 22 and stays through January 2. That means a merry ! Christmas and happy New Year for a lot of customers wh o . would rather fight to see Sammy's performance at the Sands j than switch to another hotel. Other Las Vegas shows include FREMONT . . .Frankie Laine; THUNDERBIRD . . . That Cer- ' tain Girl; TROPICANA . . Jane Russell., Connie ?√ß Haines, Beryl Davis and Folies Bergere. y
