    Mr. Entratter has produced "Eiegfeld Follies* in 1954, 19SS and 19&S at the 3ands in Las Vegas, using his own imagination and showmanship to present an original version of the famous old shows. He starred Frank Sinatra in the 1st year's production, in original songs and choregraphy, featuring .irge Tapps and his Dancers. His relationship with top stars in America today is Mr. Entratter*s biggest asset in his ability to sign them away from competitors for his own productions. rtin and Lewis for instance, remember well that it was Jack Entratter who signed them to their first big-time break, when he scouted them at the Capitol Theatre in Mew York, 1947. They were appearing as an unheralded attraction under Xavier Cugat, but Entratter thought enough of them to sign them for the MSCX S ?╤<*Ai3 for his Copacabana shows. The top comedy team remembers that well enough today, to sign with Entratter for the next 9 year's to appear 3 weeks annually at his 3ands Hotel in Las Vegas, as individual stars.
