HOSTING GOVERNORS Nevada Governor Paul Laxalt and California Governor Ronald Reagan are greeted at the Desert Inn by Robert Maheu, chief executive officer of Nevada operations for Howard Hughes. Lusty musical comedy...a hit! m^mmmmmmmm mMMMMMMM,^ C^&iMhj: "Beau Geste," a dazzling, high'step- ping salute to one of Hollywood's more famous pictures is the finale to Pzazz! '68. Thrill to skyrocketing fireworks and leggy showgirls in the Desert Inn's tribute to the great Hollywood era from the wild and wacky '30's to the present psychedelic trend.

He's shown here after 18 holes, with, from left, Dr. Tommy Armour, son of the famed golfing great; Don Welch, Desert Inn Pro, and Walter Fitzpatrick, Managing Director of the Desert Inn. fe-J"* B From the very beginning, Tom is plagued by the nefarious trio of Thwackum, Blifil and Square who do their unscrupulous best in getting Tom banished from his Uncle's estate. Throughout the romp, Tom does manage to engage in a few trysts with some of the wenches who abound in the 18th century English countryside and eventually win out over his antagonists to marry his one true love, Sophia. The famous eating and drinking scene at the inn between Mrs. Waters and Tom is a classic to behold. And when the entire cast participates in a slow-motion fight, the resulting experience is truly "one for the books." "Torn Jones" is known in Las Vegas as "the show that just wouldn't work in a hotel lounge." Since its opening Jan. 11, this Sadoff Productions bawdy musical comedy has played to capacity audiences at 11 p.m. and 2:30 a.m. 7 nights a week in the Lady Luck Lounge. Audience reaction? "One of the merriest romps of unadulterated fun to ever take to the stage." From the moment the vivacious Pat McPherson introduces the audience to the plot as the on-stage narrator, until the final curtain falls, 'Tom Jones" delights . . . titilates and thoroughly entertains. The dialogue is light and the antics of the cast are complete pandemonium.
