As a result, the Sands Hotel's I gamble?╟÷a big one even for this 1 gambling town?╟÷should pay off i like a hard-way 4. The natural I curiosity regarding Tallulah, plus I ber name value and now the added I plus of undoubted excellent word- I of-mouth, should overwork Nick I Kelly and his efficient Copa Room I staff taking care of the rush of I customers during her three-week 1 run. Tallulah was a hazardous book- 1 ing from many aspects, not the I least of which was her complete I i Tinfamiliarity as a saloon enter- j tainer, although she quickly con- I fesses that she's no stranger to I I saloons. She had no act when the I I Sands bought her at $20,000 a I I week, and after signing the con- I I tract several weeks ago her grow- I J ing nervousness brought on an at- I j tack of shingles that nearly^rep- I 1 dered her hors de Sands the morn- I ing of her opening. Plus this,: Jack 1 Entratter threw on her terrific I publicity heat by flying out news- ?║ men from east and west to cover I her nightclub debut. It could have I been a disaster; instead, iss a 1 bonanza. Thanks to a fine. monolog on | gambling by Wedlock and Snyder; I a five-minute edited,, version of _ I Dorothy Parker's well-known and I 1 highly dramatic fourteen-minute I I "Telephone Call" soliloquy, and I I Gus Schirmer's excellent routining, I I the typically coiffed but well- | 1 gowned Tallulah breezes through I 1 her turn with all the assurance of I I a nightclub floor veteran. Though | ?√ß no nightingale, she even makes j 1 passable and quite acceptable two I songs, "I'll Be Seeing You" and I "Bye, Bye Blackbird," though if || 1 anythii|| is to be eliminated in her i 1 act, it'sEier singing. At best, she \i 1 should do only "Blackbird," in I | which she also throws in some in- I I expert Charleston hoofing, and 1 ?║? leave the more serious singing to | m better suited birds. Without j the B songs, she's a Class A entertainer, ?√ß an ace monologist and a top at- ?√ß traction for any of the better ?√ß bistros in thMcprmtry. DeanvFuller, whom Tallulah in- ?√ß troes as a very promising com- I poser, is her piano accompanist ?√ß and the;,only person, other than ?√ß the orchestra, with her on.Jpiev II stage. 0|?╜Jiteg night, she also paid ?√ß particular credit tojLPeter Lind ?√ß Hayes and Mary Healy, who closed || here the\ previous night, for their ?√ß sympathetic help on her debut: m performance.
