SUNDAY MIRROR MiiiiWiTiift V Roberta's Vocal talent rare and superb is being displayed these evenings by Roberta Sherwood. This gal takes oyei* the Latin Quarter headline spot and weaves a lyrical enchantment while exuding warmth with her unpretentious personality. From the opening chords, when the spotlight picks her up in the audience shaking hands with the patrons, in spectacles with a sweater tossed oyer her shoulder, until about 15 songs later, she is hypnotic. Roberta sings the gamut of melodic tempos and has the packed house clamoring for more. ROBERTA is a blockbuster. | She has a friendly, informal appeal. And that voice with the I throaty echo makes her one of THE singers of the day, She acknowledges Walt e r WinchelTs discovery of her in kjTorida, introduces her oldest son p(20) for a chorus and lets her 1 youngest (10) take a bow. But 1 eyerything she does is with sim-1 plieity? and class. | Roberta dips into the nostalgic 1 for Berlin's "All Alone?╟Ñ and"Al-1 ways,?╟Ñ chants such standards as | "Bill Bailey?╟Ñ and "Up the Lazy ? River?╟Ñ with her accompaniment 1 on the cymbal. A rock W roll, I "There?╟╓s a Ghost at Your Wed-1 ding,?╟Ñ to the pop stuff like "Just | In Time?╟Ñ ?╟÷all show her ver-satility. This singer has great vocal I variety, but if there is a single; I style we prefer it is the plaintive' 1 "You?╟╓re Nobody ?╟╓Til Somebody; I Loves You,?╟Ñ This torchy tune; | makes you want to cry in your ^ beer. , I ?╟úYm the newest and the oldest 5 up there,?╟Ñ says Roberta. It took NITELIFE a while for her to win recognition but she?╟╓s going to stay on top for a long time. ANOTHER ACT that glitters is Corbett Monica, a comedian who has been serving his apprenticeship in the cafe , whirl and now gets his best showcase. He has been appearing around with his mirth supporting some of the top stars and rates that billing himself. Corbett is a comic of the relaxed manner. He is quiet and casual in delivery. He has poh ished assurance and pleasant personality. More important, this lad comes up with some bright material. Quips, gags and impressions are sharp and deft.* Monica doesn?╟╓t aim for. the howls, just tickles with his alert commentary on the local scene or problems of the day. Also in the show are the Marilex Duo, two lads from Spain who juggle and spin plates with dexterity. The Donn. Arden revute, "International fflffiay,?╟Ñ is a bright, flashy display that has a wide variety of talents, plus those semi-draped dolls in eye-filling production numbers. , ?╟÷FRANK QUINN.

Q. bill (though actually a reprise frorh an earlier edition) is the amazing continental variety turn called the Morlidors, a show-sopping novel y. Another fine addition is the dance duo of Haber and Dale. The balance of the two-hour production remains as previously noted, a production * unequalled even in an $8.80 legit theatre. But here for the six buck minimum, you get that much food and liquor plus dancing and a revue in the best Ziegfeld tradition. Meanwhile, there?╟╓s much whispering and excitement backstage as Risman and Arden plot and plan the upcoming Fall production, expected to set a new high in cabarets. I can hardly wait. So I won?╟╓t I?╟╓ll peek ill at the rehearsals.
