In a dazzling array of gowns and jeweled briefs reminiscent of her many film triumphs, Betty Grable of Hollywood last night sang and danced down memory lane as she opened a four-week engagement as star of Donn Arden?╟╓s ?╟úAll About Dames***aFthe Latin Quarter. A happy marriage, motherhood and the unrelenting advance of years haven?╟╓t sapped the energy, verve and figure that has earned the platinum blonde a niche among the stars of moviedom. Pony Sherreli and Phil Moody, who wrote original music and lyrics for ?╟úAll About Dames in which Miss Sherreli plays the provocative Sadie Thomp- son in the colorful finale, styled Miss Grable?╟╓s act. It is long on nostalgia, with sentiment and Wit neatly illuminated in a melange of musical highlights from Grable successes. Through much of her act Miss Grable is joined by four personable young1 men with good voices and limber limbs called the Grable Grabbers. Later, she has the invaluable assistance of four pretty girls, who lend an authentic zest to the scene of the roaring ?╟╓20s and Wabash Ave., singing ?╟úI?╟╓m in Love With. You, Honey?╟Ñ as Texas Guinan greets th?· suck- ers. * ' '/'?√ß 5 ?√ß . < f: 4;.: 1 ?√ß Green Jackets. In Kelly-green jackets, black pants and black fedoras, the boys introduce the star, who appears in a full-length fur- trimmed, green-lined cloak and wraps up her career and her appearance at the Latin Quar* ter in a cleverly-written num- ber, ?╟úI?╟╓m Just Lucky, I Guess.?╟Ñ Removing the cape, she stood in a shimmering sequined black L-* gown and, in tribute to her trumpet-playing husband, Har- ry James, sang ?╟úThere He Goes?╟Ñ with an obligatto of Har- ry?╟╓s familial theme. One wondered when the fa- mous Grable legs would be un- veiled. They were, in a matter of minutes, and received obvi- ous billing for most of the rest of the act as the petite star, in her inimitable way, recalled such pictures as ?╟úMother Wore Tights,?╟Ñ ?╟úWabash Avenue,?╟Ñ and ?╟ The Dolly Sisters.?╟Ñ Sings Medley. Broadway and Tin Pan Al- ley reigned supreihe as one heard ?╟úSweet Rosie O?╟╓Grady,?╟Ñ ?╟úPretty Baby,?╟Ñ. ?╟úPut Your Arms Around Me, Baby,?╟Ñ ?╟úDark Town Strutters Ball?╟Ñ and ?╟úSheik of Arabie.?╟Ñ Probably the outstanding number., following a buildup in tempo and emotion, was * the amusing interpretation of bur- lesque, with Miss Boomps-a- paisy (Miss Grable) resolving it \ all with the boys in a rou- tine of shake, rattle and roll. Betty Grable should be heart- ily welcomed in her first New York cafe appearance. Others new to the production lend much. Like human mis* siles testing a launching pad, the Shaller Bros, use the tram- poline for some amazing acro- batic work. Dominique* the French pickpocket par excel- lence, swipes watches, suspend- ers and wallets and gives hot seats to customers with sadis- tic abandon, and the rest of a lar?╟╓ge cast make an evening at the Latin Quarter an adventure well worth the money.
