I agree.Hollywood, Cali- Reporter far- 7,581) MOULIN ROUGE Current layout stacks up, overall, one of the weakest Frank Sennes ever has booked into his spot. Luckily, Molly Bee carries the star spot in trouper fashion; the ojhers |re not in their element here Miss Bee, "elegantly gowned an<\ in good voice, offers up what might best be described as a "pleasant" act, not sock in such a nitery as this but a long way from mere adequacy. The rock 'n' roll routines predominate, natch, and include "Pink Shoe Laces," "Smack Dab In the Middle" and "Straight Ahead." A pleasing change - of - pace comes near the wind-up via "His Eye Is On the Sparrow," the semi-hymn, actually her best number, voice-wise. Billy Strange accompanies on guitar (when Miss Bee isn't using same) . The Upstarts 15), a vocal group, open the show. Extremely reminiscent of Kay Thompson and the Williams Bros, (main difference being that here there are three boys, two girls) . They impress extremely favorably via top- notch blending and ditto arrangements. The attempt at comedy, however, is not so hot, some of it slanted to a more sophisticated audience than usually crowds the Moulin Rouge. This stuff would go far better in a more intimate room, a criterion which certainly must be directed at comedian Leo Fuchs. Suffice it to say, he did not go over. The Donn Arden "Wonderful World" Revue (now limited to the "Big Ben" number) is beginning to show the passage of time. And the pigeons have flown the coop. ?╟÷ Neal Graham.
