I agree.4?╟÷ENTERTAINMENT, AUG. 1-0,1963; jReno Evening -Gazette a**d Nievacte State Journal Ella Fitzgerald Scores With Cal-Neva Audience The crowds at Frank Sinatra's Cal-Neva Lodge really dig Ella Fitzgerald, the *'Queen of Jazz.** Jamming the Celebrity Room for her appearance at the Lake Tahoe fun spot, they clamor for "more, more, more" with every break in the show. Hearing her, fans know why she is accoladed the "great" Ella Fitzgerald. She is one in a million and can, handle anything in the pop field, from jazz to ballads, and make it swing. Her clear, rich, warm-voiced elaborations on "Bill Bailey," "Mack the Knife," "Stompin' at the Savoy," and a roster of Cole Porter, Gershwin, and Rogers and Hart leave jazzophiles and romanticists agog over her vocal pyrotechnics. Ella is well matched in the realm of comedy by Dave Astor. Billed as the "angry young comic," the Brooklyn firebrand lets loose with a string of well- aimed attacks on everything from President Kemnedjy and his admin istration to Khrushchev and the U.N. His humor is like a poisoned dart: light as a piece of balsa wood, but dipped in the venom of derision. The luscious Donn Arden Danc ers add a splash of sumptuous glamor to the show in lavish theatrical productions. Composer Matty Malneck leads the 22-piece orchestra through its wide-ranging paces without a flaw. ELLA rl ILi^KDsCMLU
