This Clipping From NEW YORK, N. Y. JOURNAL AMERICAN HE KNIGHT WATCH 'Four Lads' Add Up to Four Hits By GiNE KNIGHT rHIS IS ALL ABOUT THE BOYS who shine in the latest edition of "All About Dames," Donn Arden's plendorous revue at the Latin Quarter. The Four Lads, recording singers from St. Michael's 'athedral Choir School in Toronto, are four hits. They re Frank Busseri, Bernard Toorisch, James Arnold and iorrado Codarini. And they sing harmoniously. While the boys score with Istanbul," "Getting to Know Ton," "No, Not Much" and ther comparatively recent Dngs, it is when they go back ito the barbershop quartet fa that they get the customers inging with them. Frank, Barney, Jim and iorrie do wonderfully well with itch wonderful oldies as Shine On Harvest Moon;" And the Band Played On;" If You Were the Only Girl in le World" and "For Me and Iy Gal." They don't write songs like lat any more. Vocal arrangements for the our Lads are good. While I lissed their "Standing on the orner," the boys came irough strongly with "Down f the River Side." Listen to that rhythm! It's a beat that can't be beat. I rate the Four Lads the best of these singing foursomes.. The male sex registered again when the Romano Brothers from Italy, via France, bounded on. These three do everything. They're singing, dancing acrobats. Comedians, too. , Advertised star of the show is Jean Carroll, billed as "The First Lady of Laughs." Off to a slow start, she picked up when she began her series of "Did you hear that . . . ?" Most of her lines were clever, but Miss Carroll's act is like,what the bride wore: Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue. Her few blue jokes were, I felt, in poor taste. Bouncing Act The Four Kilroys (not on the program) earned their applause on the bounce. This is a family trampoline act from Australia comprised of husband and wife, the wife's younger sister and her husband. They reached the heights in swings and catches. The Kilroys were there. Rest of the stars of "All About Dames" were held over: Pony Sherrell, Dick Curry, Boubouka, Mitsouko Morigai and Joyce Roberts. Also, of course, the dancing girls and boys of the large chorus. And the great big show girls who staged a parade of beauty unadorned. As usual, Jo Lombardi's band played for the dancing customers. More cha-cha-cha. "All About Dames" is a fast- moving production. Which is not surprising. There's always a good show at the Latin Quarter. This Clipping From BROOKLYN, N. Y. LONG ISLAND ADVOCATE JAN 15 1959 J| roadway after hours .By BAY WILSON JAYE P.
