This Clipping From NEW YORK, N. Y. SUNDAY MIRROR LEE MORTIMER What with this, that and the her thing, I haven't gotten ound to the fabulous Latin carter for quite some time, so can think of no better way to d my vacation than to say some ee things about the flagship of e theatre-restaurants. During my long and prolonged sence from 48th and Broadway j Latin Quarter's famous brain ist (E. M. Loew and Ed Ris- m) came up with one of the st and brightest productions sr seen in this historic Times uare landmark, where almost ?ry great of show business has peared at one time or another. These theatrical geniuses, 2w and Risman, are gents of titude and determination who re weathered the worst storms luding depressions, strikes 1 the notorious week before :istmas. >NE OF THE REASONS for booming box office at the irter now is blonde and iph-y Jaye P.

His impressions re-1 I you of Charlie Chaplin at I greatest before the days cr I significance. usual, the Latin Qu stage is inhabited by a talented bevy of foreign and domestic variety artists, taking over in this field where the nostalgic Palace left off. Among the brightest spots of the distaff department is lovely Mitsuko Morigai, the striking and beautiful babe from Japan who scored so big last year stooging for Milton Berle. Mitsuko, known as Nippon's most famous model, has her own bit now, singing a strange and exotic Japanese song in a typical Far Eastern voice. IT MIGHT BE that Mitsuko originated the Oriental trend now taking over Broadway, and if anyone is looking for a star in a forthcoming film, this is it. Big in the sex-appeal department is Boubouka, another exotic, from Greece, who makes with the traditional belly-dance first, made famous at the Latin Quarter by Nejla Ates and Samia Gamal. Boubouka really tosses it. She is something to see. Another imported beauty is Tanya Corlette, billed as "the Australian Godess." She's six featured include Ron Lewis ai Joyce Roberts, outstanding m sical comedy dancers, Liza Ros Tony Mack, Ron Merron, Sfua Hodes, David Carter and prodt tion singer Dick Curry, all < whom do brilliant jobs, as do maestro Jo Lombardi, wit Buddy Harlow alternating.
