Jack Entratter's experiment in mixing "types" has paid off, with dividends, and it can be safely said that the present show will work to capacity audiences every night. Armstrong travelling with his combo, including Cozy Cole, drums; Averill Shaw, bass; Trum- my Young, trombone, and Barney Begard, clarinet, wowed the opening night crowd from "Sleepy- time Down South," to "Steak- face.*' Satchmo was at his best last night, singing and blowing his hs|n "like never before. Velma Middleton, singer with the group, who must weigh close to 300 pounds, had the audience convulsed as she attempted to dance to "Mama's Back in Town." Merrill, another star who has deserted the stage to play saloons, was in a difficult spot for his, debut, beHte* forced to follow the wild musicSaiArms?·#ong with classics and ^^Wf^classics, but did an excellent job. The"rich full tone of the opera star's voice shone especially when he gave out with a nower.ful rendition of "Old Man River." When this man sang, the river really rolled. His; rendition of 'T Believe" had many a first niter reaching for a handkerchief. Ray Sinatra supplimented his orchestra with three violins and an oboe for Merrill's appearance, and it can now be said that Sinatra's was a wise move. The orchestra sounded as it should, instead of as it could while backing a singer such as Merrill. The Cerneyg support the starring acts with some graceful ballroom dancing, ? which is done quite well. Bob Gilbert's move from an all girl chorus line to a mixed group was a wise one}. as will be at- tsted by those seeing last night's j show. Opening with "I * Know^ What I Mean," with Jack Acker- man dancing the, specialty, the boys and girls proved that theyj will now be a dancing line. f\ mm: l. - . . j/Tji cJilii ens PRESS CLIPPING BUREAU Established 1888 SAN FRANCISCO Los Angeles .

Now I can tell you that Judy gets Cary. Remember how good he was in the "Bachelor and the Bobby-Soxer" with Shirle$??;^Temple?
