This Clipping From HOLLYWOOD REPORTER HOLLYWOOD, CALIF. This Clipping From GOTHAM GUIDE NEW YORK, N. Y. otcn iw?? "... JK, WHO THE STARS COME OUT. . MOULIN ROUGE Plenty of payees should be marching into Frank Sennes' spot. Here's Peggy Lee at her best -?╟÷ and that's plenty good. It's a sock turn as Miss Lee, elegantly gowned, seldom heard in better voice and with an act neatly staged by Nick Castle, trills such hits largely associated with her as "It's All Right With Me," "When the World Was Young," "Fever," "Golden Earrings," "Manana," "Do Right," "Good Day," "Lover. Enhancing the turn is the backing of the 13-voice Evelyn Freeman Choir during the final numbers?╟÷ "Open the Doors,' "Blow Trumpet Blow" (written by Miss Lee), "Didn't It Rain," "Motherless Child" and the rousing closer, "When the Saints Go Marching In." In support on the bill are the Bernard Brothers, an extremely clever record-mouthing team. Very good was their medley from "The King and I," one as the bald Yul Brynner and the other as the hoop - shirted Deborah Kerr. Due to the length of Miss Lee's act, and also of the Bernards, the Donn Arden Revue, "Wonderful World," has been shortened. What there is, though, continues a feast for the eyes. Dick Stabile's ork continues to give the show ace backing. ?╟÷ Neal Graham. Moulin Rouge, H'wood Hollywood, Sept. 12. Connie Haines, Bob Williams, Donn Arden Revue, Dick Stabile Orch (13); $5.50 package. Diminutive Connie Haines emerged from retirement to present a pleasant, diversified song- alog in her 25-minute turn, at the Moulin Rouge. Miss Haines, making her first professional appearance since she quit a few years ago, pleased the opening night crowd with her dozen or so tunes. However, she will need time and bookings to rebuild as a name, and meanwhile chances for biz at the Moulin are just so-so. At times the star appeared nervous, due probably to her absence from the stage. Backed by Eddie Grady's special rhythm section, consisting of a bass, skin-beater and 88, the thrush shows savvy with her smartly- paced, varied repertoire, including the bouncy "Witchcraft," a haunting rendition of "September Song," a medley of disk hits from her Tommy Dorsey orch days, a sizzling "What Is This Thing Called Love?" A bit with batoner Dick Stabile (on the sax), "I Can't Give You Anything But Love," was good, but the lead-in try for humor weak. There was a rousing closer, "When the Saints Go Marching In." Bob Williams and his canine act preceded, turned out to be a real crowd-pleaser. One of Williams' "assistants" is a real mournful looking mutt and his well-trained "inattention" to Williams' orders played for laughs. Frank Sennes decided to spot Miss Haines before the final production number of Donn Arden's "Pariscope Revue," which opened a year ago. Miss Haines is booked through Sept. 21, when the huge nitery shutters for two weeks for a $50,- 000 stage expansion and redecora- tion. Spot reopens Oct. 9 with a new Arden revue preeming, "Wonderful World," with Anna Maria Alberghetti the star for the first showcasing. Booked to follow are Roberta Sherwood, the Mills Bros, and Domenico Modugno. Sennes, incidentally, has budgeted his new revue at $250,000. Daku. This Clipping From WOMEN'S WEAR DAILY NEW YORK, N. Y. J%2 9 1959 Tony Martin Headlines Revue at Desert Inn Tony Martin, in his first appearance at Wilbur Clark's Desert Inn, headlines a lavish show scheduled for a four-week engagement. Jack Durant, comedian, is featured in the show for which Donn Arden has contrived two spectacular production numbers featuring the voice of Art Johnson. Carlton Hayes and his orchestra provide music for the show as well as the dance interludes. Other entertainment includes nightly performances of McGuire & Still, along with the soft rhythms of the Ernie Coleman Trio in the Sky Room Lounge high atop the Inn. Dave Apollon and his music, Michael Kent and his group, the Milt Herth Trio, The Caballeros and the Don Gregory Quartet are the performing artists who entertain nightly from 5 p.m. to 5 a.m. iri the Lady Luck Lounge. By GEAN ORLIN AT THE LATIN QUARTER (48th & Broadway For the answer to "how lucky can you get?" we point with pride to Anna Mana Alberghetti currently starring in Donn Atden's magnificent production "All About Dames" at the Latin Quarter.?Σ≤ Miss Alberghetti is young ?╟÷ curvaceous ?╟÷ beautiful ?√ß?╟÷ talented ?╟÷ and in love! This latter happy state not so incidentally, is reflected in her performances these evenings as she seems to be more wonderful than ever before. Anna Maria, who made her American debut at Carnegie Hall at the tender age of 13, has achieved fame and fortune in every media of show business - television, motion pictures, cafes and recording. She's only 21! What's left? Gian-Carlo Menotti, celebrated composer, is credited with bringing this gifted beauty to international prominence when he featured her in the film version of his opera, "The Medium." The raves she garnered in this picture brought her to the attention of Bing Crosby who offered her a role in "Here Comes The Groom." She's made others since, including her most recent, "Ten Thousand Bedrooms/' in which she's co-starred with Dean Martin. When it comes to television, Eddie Sullivan rates the bouquets for introducing her to his huge audience via his popular Sunday night variety show. This started a long chain of guest appearances on practically every important program on the [air. In Vegas she commands a salary of $25,000 a week and stands among the top ten as a cafe attraction. Her ambition, strange to say, is to become an actress. Anna Maria displayed uncommon dramatic ability in two TV dramas for Climax, one of which was "A Bell for Adano," and she yearns to continue her career along these lines. Seems to us, with her versatility, it should be a cinch! Whatever the future has in store for Miss Alberghetti, she certainly is in rare voice for her spectacular month's engagement at the Latin Quarter. In addition to a bevy of new ensemble beauties who parade about in $120,000 worth of costumes that will have you gasping because they are so exquisite, "All About Dames" adds up to the most brilliant and eyefriling production ever conceived in the 16-year history of the Latin Quarter. The extravaganza features lots of new talent including songstress Pony Sherrell who's also responsible for the original musical score with collaborator Phil Moody; Ron Lewis and Joyce Roberts, production dancers; production singer Dick Curry whose dimples are deep enuf to bury your fist in!; Mitsuko Morigai, Japan's Number One model and the epitome of grace and Oriental loveliness; Boubouka, exotic beauty from Greece who "dances" a lot like Nejla Ates, in her American debut, and Tanya Corlette, the Australian goddess who got to take a shower in the previous Latin Quarter production, "Holiday For Love." Maybe it's just as well you stay dry, Tanya, it's getting cold outside!
