'-The Lido shows at the,Stardust have always been toip magnets over ' ithpt years with their lavish display lof flesh in and out of extravagatft ^bsjmnes, plus the use of special effects that rfeveal swimmibg' pools, 4ce#inks, fountains, fireworks and taiways the featured ?╟úcatastrophe?╟Ñ which has employed floods, fires, ?╟≤(volcanic eruptions,'?╟╓ /l earthquakes land-almost every bther kind o?· de- structive force for . breathtaking impact. ?╟≤ Another factor ^ which has' (brought tourists back 1 time , and time again is -the gleaning 'of top (continental talenfes-oj, offbeat'acts essentially grooved for such show- lcasting as director Donn Arden haA structured within . the jMpsgfa eu?½:-Stardust format. The Nitwits -Ifrom England are such an -attrac- tioh. The 10 zany musical weirdos, led by Sid Millard, have returned to Isiead the ?╟Ñ68 opus and word is sure to get around fast that the fave aet of "editions past is back, funnier than ever. . Although most ribtickling effects ??r$ obtained instrumentally, ?╟ one ?½f ?╟╓the excruciating highlights is the vocal chorus, ?╟úLily of La- . guna,?╟Ñ in which diminutivedown Charles Rossi makes most fablers Simp from laughter during his panto antics. Credit also the ex- prc jive, rangy Negro, Cyril Lagey, for some outlandish mugging and falsetto warbling, Walter Stewart for perfect timing, Chriss Fox, (Ronnie Genarder, Arthur Calkin, (Sid Flood, Brian Firth and Toni Traversi for , contributing, multi- talents to the inspired madness. The Reberte ds a quartet of gym- nasts whose flips, and tumbles in solo or grouj? bear hihe mark of expertise. Theirs is a sleek presen- tation that contains comedic ele- ments as well as highly kinetic muscular expositions.; Also in the musicular division arse^the pretzel (contortions of Evers. & Toni ' who ibring gasps with their almost pii- ibelieyable limb knots. Nancy Lee Parker and Nicky Powers reveal smooth dub blade style on the rink, with Powers hhndlfng the major - single exhibits. Climax is a thrill- er with Miss Parker?╟╓s zoom over the ice into Powers?╟╓ arms and ibeing whirled at finish to 'defy sail principles of centrifugal force. (Rudy Schweitzer?╟╓s; juggling of hats, (balls and boxes is speedy and (nearly faultless. The ?╟╓68 Lido ?╟úcatastrophe?╟Ñ is a falling chandelier and fire in a ?√ß?╟ ?╟ Phantom the Opera?╟Ñ sequence. ; The entite prpduction misses con- ! siderably the former high marks , net in previous years. Other scenes, vising the full cast of.; Blue-bell Girls, the perambulating nudes, the Arden boy darners, and sing- ers, have the added embellishment of Marya Linera whose supple and i well-endowed frame is well ex- posed during her various chore os.
