DAILY VARIETY i H 1-1 ?√ß MOULIN ROUGE V ($5.50 Package) ?√ß Sammy Davis Jr. is a thousand ?√ß people?╟÷a thousand entertainers--^ ?√ß compressed into one highly vbla# ?√ß tile package which is currently ?√ß exploding inside Frank Sennef ?√ß Moulin Rouge. His is a gigantjb ?√ß talent, wholly as big as the crowds ?√ß that view it, and the current Wr three-week engagement should fe I a smash. I It can?╟╓t be repeated too oft^n I that Davis has something for I everyone, including those who al- I ready have seen him work a night club. His singing and dancing wear I beautifully, and his specialties, | both old and new, are skillfully I routined with a fascinating ad- | libbed air. On Saturday night Davis held a packed opening night house in his hands and heart for some 80 | minutes. The response was im- mediately powerful, and it grew to be nearly overpowering, to the point Davis had to beg off to thunderous appreciation so the mob outside the Moulin Rouge could replace the one inside. ?╟úBirth of the Blues,?╟Ñ ?╟úI?╟╓ve Got Plenty Of Nothin?╟╓,?╟Ñ and a medley I of songs which were nominated I for but never won Oscars, were I sung by Davis with a combination I of sound, rhythm and feeling that I marks him as one of the iiitery cir- I cuit?╟╓s best song stylists. His danc- I mg fills the big room with the I zest of his feet, his drumming is I of equal spirit, and his Jekyll- I Hyde bit is off-beat saloon enter- ?√ß tamment. The entertainer has capitalized I on impersonations because he has I let his own personality peek I through. He does more than sound I and look like the people he im- I personates, for he fills them from I within. And yet he is always him- I self.
