Unlike many of the top saloon stars, Davis doesn?╟╓t fall in the j category of being just a singer, j dancer, musician, impressionist oi | actor, because his varied talents encompass all these fields. He runs through a new and old routine which includes impressions of Sinatra, Crosby, Lewis and even Dean Martin. Add to this a satire on thesps that imitates the technique of Actors Studio grads, and even mimed to the off stage recordings from Broadway?╟╓s ?╟úThe Musio Man?╟Ñ in top fasion. A topper was his Sinatra takeoff. This showed the thin one coming onstage* via the audience garbed in his usual doodle bug chapeau, trench coat slung over the shoul- . der, and drink in hand while singing ?╟úThat?╟╓s Why the Lady Is A Tramp.!?╟╓ Other tunes socked over were ?╟úThere?╟╓s No Fool Like An Old Fool,?╟Ñ ?╟úBirth of the Blues,?╟Ñ j ?╟úHey, There,?╟Ñ and a touching ren- j d it ion of ?╟úMy Bess?╟Ñ from ?╟úPorgy | and Bess.?╟Ñ A little solo hoofing ! with a dash of flamenco a la Greco ! also showed off his skill. A soft-shoe routine with Uncle Will Mas- j tin, whom Davis credits for his | talent, also scored and added to j the excitement which generated j throughout this kingsize room. The little guy also took time from his act to pay tribute to his father, a regular of the Mastin Trio but now sidelined because of a heart ailment. .

At the Paramount Theatre, | where, the film opened, Robert ^ Mitchum heads -the cast of this j exciting drama that should have a general rather than a specialized appeal. 1 x We follow the adventures of some U. S. jet pilots during the Korean .War where the brilliantly ; colored Cinemascope photography lends additional values* Bob Mitchum is the World War II ace as-r signed to the fighter unit that has mostly young men. When one of 5 these near-juveniles succumbs to | liquor to overcome his fear, Bob, j Mitchum yields to the lure of his 1 attractive wife and meets her sur-| reptitiously, even during the time 1 he is teaching her husband the I facts of flying. During one of | these flights the young man?╟╓s plane | is hit, forcing him to bail out in f enemy territory. But the wind-up is arranged for rehabilitated men and more peaceful romance. / , Mr. Mitchum gives a fopnotch performance as the fearless pro-fessionri ace, with May Britt coming through effectively as his romantic excursion. Lee Phillips as her weakling husband, Robert Wagner as a smug pilot, Richard Egan as the cominander and John Gabriel as an immature flyer all addt considerable strength to this fine production. An active picture of war with genuine appeal to the distaff audience is a rare accomplishment indeed.
