Prosperity has affected her?╟÷she now has two sweaters, one white, one black, decorated lavishly with brocaded pearls.

Using her familiar entrance j ?╟÷which is not quite so effec-J tivb in the huge confines of I the Latin Quarter?╟÷Miss Sher-| wood quickly went' into her| repertoire. Not one to permit! her friends to grow weary off any one style, Roberta showed] superb versatility. Ballads, country music, rock *h?╟╓ roll?╟÷; all came within her ken.

A splendid f [ relief from the hysterical come- r j dians so prevalent in clubs R today, the young man has a| low-pitched approach with! loads of fresh and new mate-1 rial. Not for him the hackneyed g and trite. It?╟╓s pleasant to report g that in his 15-minute stint r ] there were only two gags that g ; were familiar and both had ! i been given switches that made h I them new again.

I Going for him also is his ap- I pearance?╟÷this lad definitely | appeals to the distaff half of | the audience. Darkly handsome, somewhat | Latin in appearance, slim and neat with shiny black hair (in | profusion), Corbett seems an ideal bet for comedy stardom. I All the other acts that go to | make this revile one of the i best in the history of Broad- I way still are on hand. Martha Errolle sings, as does 1 Gina Genardi; the Marilex R Duo amaze with juggling der-ring-do; Queti Clavijo delights 1 with, her fantastic flamenco; | Tanya Corlette, Broadway?╟╓s 1 cle^nisfc showgirl, takes her f two showers on stage each g night?╟÷and the people have a heck of a good time. In short, my friend Roberta Sherwood can be proud of her- h self; Mr. Winchell can be proud r: of himself for discovering Roberta; Corbett Monica can ft be proud of himself for his i sensational debut?╟÷and Eddie I Risman ban be proudest of all 1 for having the good sense to j?║ hire these fine performers. ^ THE ORIGINAL PomeikF ?√ß?√ß PRESS CLIPPINGS ?√ß?√ß 330 TOMPKINS AVE.
