Gragson on hand to dispense warm words of welcome and present them with the desert city's official flag, a group of the world-famous Bluebell girls arrived at McCarran Airport Thursday night after a flight from Paris that started early Thursday morning. Representing the cream of the dancing and promenading talent available in La Belle France, the stunning beauties are in Las Vegas for the Stardust Hotel's forthcoming 9th stage spectacular, the "Lido de Paris" revue. Also greeting them was the entertainment juggernaut's director-choreographer Donn Arden and Madame Bluebell. The Lido's producer, Frank Sennes, is bedded but mending nicely after a near-fatal auto accident last Sunday. He bid his welcome through Arden and Madame Bluebell. The arrival of the Parisian troupe immediately set in motion the complex arrangements necessary to prepare the show for its glittering world premiere in the Stardust's Cafe Continen tal The current Lido production is still attracting capacity audiences nightly despite its record run of 22 consecutive months. By the time the current revue is ready to ring down its final curtain, the all-new Lido show will have plunged into daily rehearsals of 12-hour duration. The backstage area of the Stardust will be a beehive of 24- hour-a-day activity as wardrobe) mistresses with nimble fingers prepare and fit the lavish costumes and an army of stagehands busily assemble and ready for positioning the elabyrat^ scenery which makes the Lids show the great spectacle that it is. ?╟≤ BLUEBELL GIRLS ?╟÷ Las Vegas Mayor Oran Gragson and a delegation of local officials were on hand at McCarran International Airport recently to greet fhe world-famous Bluebell Girls as they arrived for fhe "Lido de Paris" revue.
