Wednesday was one of those fabulous nights at King?╟╓s Club as Donald O?╟╓Connor, Jack Carter and his wife, Paula Stewart, and Lou Wills dropped in to catch Pat Henry?╟╓s late show.' Before it was over, everybody got into the act. Carter did some of the routines he introduced at the Flamingo Hotel in Las Vegas a few months ago. Donald and Paula sang a duet and Wills?╟÷one of the great acrobats in show business?╟÷did some amazing flips. It was a delicious bonus for the near-capacity crowd, which hasn?╟╓t been treated to that much spon- taneous entertainment since peo- ple like Bob Hope, Joe E. Lewis and Shelly Berman hung out at the U-Club. CARTER, WHO flew here from New York to catch his talented wife?╟╓s performance in ?╟úLittle Me,?╟Ñ stopped off for dinner at Domi- nique?╟╓s earlier in the evening* He reminisced of his salad days in the business?╟÷especially his first job with a Major Bowes unit which featured a skinny little singer named Frank Sinatra. Jack is concentrating more and more on a career in the legitimate theater ?╟÷ except for his biannual night club appearances in Las Vegas. f I am up for the lead in a Broadway show next season, and it looks like a winner,?╟Ñ he in- formed. "You know I turned down ?╟ Music Man,?╟Ñ* he grimaced. Noting that Phil Silvers is due to open next week in "Top Ba- nana,?╟Ñ Carter said he replaced Phil in the Broadway version some 15 years ago. "He said he wanted to go on vacation,?╟Ñ Carter grinned, stead, he was standing in the^fck of the theater every night watch- ing my performance.?╟Ñ Carter spoke glowingly of such contemporaries as Buddy Hackett, Phil Foster, Jan Murray and Jim* my Durante. "We?╟╓re a close-knit fraternity,?╟Ñ he said in jj regard to comics. We?╟╓re also a bunch of . nutty neurotics, but who wouldn?╟╓t be un- der the circumstances? There is a continual pressure on comics?╟÷ that?╟╓s why so many of them are Jekyl and Hyde characters.?╟Ñ AROUND THE TOWN: Cabana Hotel has signed comedians Ford & Reynolds as the Texas-Oklaho- ma weekend attraction. They open Oct. I for IQ days, followed by Marion Colby, Sylvia Syms, Lewis & Christy, -the Wanderers Three and Don Cherry . . .

Red Skelton played to 14,000 per sons in the rain at the Wyoming State Fair the other night, and everyone stayed through his entire performance and rewarded him with a standing ovation. It was the largest crowd ever assembled in Wyoming for any star. When someone offered him an umbrella. Red turned it down and laughing- ly added?╟÷"What do you think I am?╟÷a Communist??╟Ñ He made the remark, in jest, after warning the crowd at the start of the show that it would be "un-American?╟Ñ to leave before the end of his per- formance. . . .
