    A street of high fashion dress shops, a giant mirrored ballroom and an elaborate fashion show of the 1930's will also be included in the superb finale. Carefully laced through the entire production show will be the finest specialty acts in the world, gathered from every section of the globe. The fast-paced variety acts will include the hilarious antics of the Jolly Jovers, the balancing skills of the Rios Brothers, and comedy-magic of Milo and Rogers and the ice skating beauty of Theo and Helga. Conductor Ray Sinatra will handle the Stardust Orchestra in providing musical backing for the new Lido, with original music and lyrics composed by James Harbert. Orchestrations are by Harbert and Bill Stafford. Conceived by Rene Fraday and Pierre Louis-Guerin, the 10th edition of the Lido will remain at the Stardust for an indefinite period of time. Michael Knight is in charge of art direction and set designs, joined by Raymond Fost and George Wakhevitch for additional scenic designs. Assisting Donn Arden in the creation, staging and direction of the extravaganza are Larry Maldonado, Carlton Johnson and Larry Merritt. -13-
