The popular singer has lost none of his zip and showmanship, And he has the kind of personality that warms up and quiets down a noisy night-club crotvd im-mediately. Billy steps out on stage with his arranger*aiccoxn-panist Bennie Paine, who chipies in on some of the songs. Daniels talks a little 'and sings a lot, smarting with ?╟úI Don't Care If the Sun Don't... Shine" and following [through with ?╟úWalk Hand in Hand With Me'' and! ?╟úYoung and Foolish.?╟Ñ | Nobody puts a warmer glow on romantic ballads. New ones like ?╟úI. f v Could Have Danced All \ Night?╟Ñ or ageless ones j like ?╟úMy Blue Heaven.?╟Ñ j Reaching back to the old days, Billy brought out ?╟úYou?╟╓d Be So Nice to Come Home To,?╟Ñ a wartime hit, and ?╟úI'll Get By,?╟Ñ a song that could warm the heart in any time or place. Daniels was preceded by Donn Arden's lavish revue, ?╟úC'est la Vie?╟Ñ featuring the Three Robertes, Pony Sherrell, Ffolliott Charlton, Wil Carter, Luis Urbina and the 50 chorus beauties called the Sennes Senders. With Eddie O?╟╓Neal and his band servicing both the revue and the regular dancing afterwards, it?╟╓s ?╟úC?╟╓est la Vie?╟Ñ all right at the Moulin Rouge. P^RIETY Moulin Rouge, L. A. Los Angeles, April 2. Helen Kane, Dominique, Toni Dalli, Donn Arden's ?╟úPariscope,* [ Dick Stabile Orch (12); $5.50 pack age. Marie Proves Talent Every reviewer is entitled to at least one surprise a season. I got mine when Marie (The Body) McDonald stepped into .the Moulin Rouge spotlight. Heretofore, Miss McDohalci's chief claim to fame has been a knack for hitting the front pages, either by tossing aside a current spouse or turning up in the desert as an alleged kidnap victim. Her fireside mantel hasn't been crowded with Oscars for dramatic ability on the screen. I This time she seems to have found a theatrical facet that suits her capabilities. In Frank Sennes?╟╓ new Moulin R o u g e production, ?╟úPari MmOR-NEWS j tos Angeles, Sat., Sept. 21,1957 Parf1 sdope,?╟Ñ the well-padded Body proves she can do more than take a midnight ride to Indio. The former Jimmy Dorsey Band canary can chirp with the best of the present crop of singers. She has a well-rounded repertoire of songs, delivered in qhowmanly manner. Although a few of her Hal Borne arrangements sound Tony Martinish, they are interestingly written and scored. Borne for many years has been the baton 'maestro for Tony Martin. The Treniers, who hold second billing, formerly played the cafe circuit as the Trenier Twins in a hoofing stint. Now they've become, a boisterous rock * and - sock instrumental octet of merit, though the turn could stand editing. Billy Wells and the Four chore. The show's pacing could be helped by reversing the spots of the Treniers and the Wells-Fays offerings. The production numbers, though somewhat long, are in the Sennes' tradition of lavishness. With the exception of Broadway's musicals nowhere in our country is there a show to compare in scope with * ?╟úPariscope.?╟Ñ Under direction of Donn Arden, it should score at, the turnstiles as handsomely as its four predecessors. Mme. Berthe is responsible for the colorful costuming, while Set Designer Harvey Warren rates a bow for the scenic delights. His holocaust finale, depicting the San Francisco quake, is an out stahdirfg spectacle. Pony Sherrell and Phil Moody again wrote the music, as well as the lyrics. Eddie Fays offer a flashy acrobat*^1 SBflSf fiffi band, 1 ?╟÷The Rounder While the little moons are beeping from their orbits, Helen Kane j is booping for the terrestrial trade at the Moulin Kouge. It was 30 years afo that her baby talk swept the nation with her boop-a-doops, but times have changed and all that remains of her trademarked gimmick is the nostalgic memory. She?╟╓s in for a week but will hardly catch much trade for the dual rea-s<?n that this is one of the worst nitery weeks of the year and her appeal is only to those who can hark back to her three-decade past popularity' She seemed a little uncomfortable at the stage mike and her voice has picked up the natural rust that accumulates over the years. Her repertoire is spread over the songs associated with her early | days and lending themselves to the : interpolated boops. She opens with ?╟ You Can?╟╓t Keep a Good Girl Down * and then jaunts down memory lanf to refresh the sitters that it was in 1928 she sang ?╟úWanna Be Loved By You?╟Ñ in a Metro picture. Her monkey number and! ?╟úWaitin?╟╓ at. the Church?╟Ñ, allow' for a certain cuteness that seem incongruous to her heft. Her bookijng by Frank Sennes was the direct result of her recent appeararice as Ralph Edwards* subject on tv?╟╓s ?╟úThis Is Yout jiifc*" What sh^ needs is an act. Just booping away won?╟╓t get her many night club dates of the Moulin calibre. Dominique, a shifty lad vvith fast hands, made patsies of his stooges by, relieving them qt their .wallets, watches, shirts gnd socks; He ^yorks fast and shares the eve* ning?╟╓s plaudits* with Tony Dalli, a power singer called .back after a five^week stand to fill for- the?╟╓ De Castro sisters, one of whom tool$ ill. Dalli has been booked into the Desert Inn at Vegas and should boom his way into high acceptance as a younger and fresher replica of Mario Lanza. Donn Arden?╟╓s ?╟úPariscope?╟Ñ is Mill an eye-filling extravaganza to jure the Visiting on-the-towners. The iSennes showmanship is everywhere evident. Dick Stabile waves the orchestral wand and laughs it up. Show runs for 70 minutes. r Helm; N
