    6/9 Hy Gardner J&li/Jty ~c New York's own Jack Entratter came throug with flying colors last nite in the highly competititve Las Vegas entertainment arena when his version of "Ziegfeld Follies" opened for big click before 1200 guests in 2 shows. Entratter departed from his usual Copa-style cuties to present 20 tall, beautiful new Ziegfeld Girls in some brilliant choreography and settings, not to mention dancing and singing with Frank Sinatra, and the overall result was big hit. Sinatra handled the finale with a flourish, coming out in brilliant Kelly green tuxedo as part of the "Rainbow Blues" finale and killed them as he sang of being the devil to the chorus girls. Entratter was given the rights to use the name Ziegfeld ^: Follies by^Lee Shuberg before he died last year, and Shubert predicted Jack would be the nearest thing to the great Flo. Last nite's production proved Shubert right in his prophecy. Kindest regards. Al freeman Freeman company PUBLIC RELATIONS BEVERLY HILLS CAL, ?? 214 N CANON DRIVE ?╟≤ CRESTVtEW 6-4^26
