And so seriously conceived that it is likely many new trends will be launched. For one thing, the repeated use of black in stage settings and in costumes is a new departure. The art director has proved that a stage can be beau- without being drowned ir gauav colors. And although it may break tne hearts of our local idisk jockeys to hear this,- not one roknrol selection is used through- out the performance. Pact is, this production is a musical triumph .and the entire score was writ- ten especially for it. . .by three [Frenchmen. If you?╟╓re the type who consid ers proteins, minerals, and all that Jrind of Jazz when you order a meal, then you are a balancer. to be consistent, you should select entertainment that has a good balance in dancing, comedy music, etc. Chances are that you?╟╓ll dig the show that opened last week at Flamingo. This is a well-balanced blueplate with just - right ingredients. You?╟╓ll see Kirk and Jeannie Stevens and the Flamingoettes in a bright production staged by the ingeni- ous Barry Ashton. Then there?╟╓s Jack Carter for laffs. And there?╟╓s Peggy Lee with same songs you know and will never tire of. Also, Peggy has some sizzleirs you?╟╓ll have been changed (she starts at | 6:30 p.m.) so now you can get a chance to see and hear her. She s singing with A1 De Paulis and his new group. They opened at Ne- vada Club Wednesday night.

We weren?╟╓t invited to The Thun-1 derbird, but we went there just | the same.
