iNitery Review MOULIN ROUGE ($2.50-$5.50 Package) From Arizona to Aifrica, from London to Holly wood-^with three white steeds, a; trio of baby elephants and 100 nattily and sometimes scantily attired humans?╟÷the latest Donn Arden Revue, "Wonderful World," opened at the Moulin Rouge Thursday night to an audience packed with stars, many of whom ended up on stage to wish Frank Sennes a happy birthday. If the whole 90-minute show can be likened to Sennes' birthday cake, then the toppings?╟÷a striking combination of talent and looks?╟÷is Anna Maria Alberghetti. The voice that Miss Alberghetti maneuvers with such ease is of excellent timbre and range and, what is just as important in a nightclub, she realizes this is not a concert hall. The balance of classical and pop selections is perfect, and there's a mighty fine act here, besides. Joined by skilful dancers Jerry Antes and Pepe DeChazza, Miss Alberghetti flows just as smoothly through her routines ^ as she does through her repertoire. Her stage presence is made of light-hearted dignity; she is sometimes soft and tender, often exciting and always in good taste. On opening night, the vocalist's mother, a pianist of no mean talent herself, Steinwayed a session of boogie that scored with the audience and her daughter. Up for Act II of "Wonderful World" are the Happy Jesters, a trio of zany funnymen-singers who rate solid kudos for their impersonations and happy sound. The tallest boy is a particularly fine clown. The newest Donn Arden Revue, said to have cost $250,000 to mount on the newly expanded panoramic stage, has the extravagant look of the old Metro filmusicals and the exuberant look of modern choreography. It starts with "Americana," a wild west show in which pinkclad cowpokes and girls raise the standards for "Gumsmoke," "Wyatt Burp" and "Have Gun Will Run." Next up is "Big Ben Beat," a study in red, white and. black, with the final production number being "Africana," a rousing, fiery savage spectacle that includes a bonfire sacrifice of the sex-mad huntress. Taste, imagination and showmanship are keys to Arden's talents, and great assists come from music and lyric writers Lenny Adelson and Lyn Murray, co stumer Madame Berthe, choreographers Bonnie Hunt and Larry Maldonado, scenery designer Harvey Warren, musical arrangers Jack Hayes and Ruby Raksin and choral director Johnny Mann. Backing up the entire evening with top support and artistry of its own is the Dick Stabile Orchestra (16).
