Dick Stabile and his orchestra backs the show beautifully and alternates for dancing. In summing up, many glorious adjectives have been used to describe Frank Sennes?╟╓ Moulin Rouge. Suffice it to say that it?╟╓s one of THE wonders of California, dwarfed by perhaps the Redwoods of Yosemite. Sennes and Arden Unveil Another Smash Hit at | Hollywood's Moulin Rouge By BOB SABEL \ Last night, Frank Sennes un-jveiled his new production, ^Wonderful World,?╟Ñ at the Moulin Rouge theatre - restaurant in Hollywood. The huge stage has been made even bigger and now almost forms a semi - circle around the audience. Staged and directed by Donn Arden, this show is the biggest yet. Every year, Messrs. Sennes and Arden surpass the previous year?╟╓s efforts and, frankly, I don?╟╓t know of any .place in the world where entertainment is dished out so liberally at such an inexpensive cost to the patron. All the technical and creative genius of Arden and his staff have been successfully blended in this extravaganza. The opening spectacle is a Wild West show complete with cowgirls, cowpokes, hustlers, Indians and: three magnificent horses gallop-1 ing over the spacious stage. ! The middle portion of the 1 show takes place on a London street where almost 50 dancers dance the blues in the" shadow of Big Ben. From London, Arden swings the cast down to Africa for a fantastic array of natives, witch doctors, sword dancers and sacred birds of voodoo. The climax of this scene occurs when a hunting party arrives on elephants and the woman is kidnaped and sacrificed on a flaming bier while, the billows of smoke sends the stage full of natives into wild ecstacy. If this weren?╟╓t enough, Sennes also features the zany trio, 'The Happy Jesters,?╟Ñ who are a favorite with the Moulin Rouge crowds. Every year they return, and every year their offbeat antics are a big crowd-pleaser. The star of the show however, is Anna Maria Alberghetti who sings in her platinum pitched soprano everything from ?╟úLa Traviata?╟Ñ and ?╟úButterfly?╟Ñ to Cole Porter and the blues. She dances and cavorts in several costumes, from a Japanese kimona to a flapper outfit with bugle beads and headache-band. She?╟╓s a superb entertainer and the opening night crowd gave her a standing ovation. ( Dramatic dancer Ffolliott ?╟≤nep.iq jnn..
