Bishop, Sands In Tahoe Bow, Cal-Neva Lodge Joey Bishop, straight-facecd co- | median, and Tommy Sands, singing idol, are making their bows in the Celebrity Room of Frank Sfinafcra's Cal-Neva Lodge, Crystal Bay, Lake Tahoe. The popular entertainment duo will appear at the north end sun-fun spa for one week, through July 11, replacing Vincent Edwards, TV's "Dr. Ben Casey," and the Phil Hall Singers. Bishop, on a three weeks' vacation from filming his TV series, "The Joey Bishop Show," deftly turns the ordinary into the extraordinary with a "wit that never wounds." A master of the ad lib and a favorite of colleagues Jack Benny and Danny Thomas, Bishop delivers his wry, deadpan quips with perfect timing. Co-star Tommy Sands hit his stride as an actor-singer on Kraft Theatre's TV presentation, "'The Singing Idol." His recording of the hit tune of the show, "Teenage Crush," sold over a million copies. Other releases include "Great Smash Hits," "Those Good Old Memories," "Parent Trap," and "Babes in Toyland." Sands has also been seen as the star of several motion pictures and has recently completed a road show tour of the David Merrick production, "Sunday in New York." Rounding ouit the show in the Celebrity Room is a fabulous stage prodiuction, rnastermdnded by Donn Arden and featuring a bevy of Tahoe's most beautiful, long- legiged chorines. The orchestra is cmiidiucted by Matty Malneck, composer of such all-time hits as "Goooty, Goodly" and "Stairway to the Stars." Big-name attractions are also featured nightly in the bar-lounge of Frank Sinatra's Cal-Neva Lodge. LIKES BIXIE HOLLYWOOD ?╟÷ While some singers select their numbers in Hollywood or New York, Burl Ives credits much of his success to using Nashville, Tenn., as his once- a-year headquarters. Ives considers Nashville the capital of country music. Each year he sets up shop in a hotel suite and listens to the wares of song writers, new and: old. He selects afoout 12 songs he likes and records them in Nashville, then heads to the Bahamas for a round of n:shing.
