It was refreshing to hear the lovely tuneful songs and dance music. Jazz played no part in their show. Bobby Joseph, impersonated Pat Rooney, singing his .famous| song, “Casey walked with a straw- berry blonde and the band played! on”, dancing, as he sang, and joined by a chorine of beauties, tap dancing his chorus. The little boy with the big| melodious voice, only eight years cld, his given name Jackie from Hollywood, Fla., was a sensational hit and a very talented dancer, also a very pretty blonde miss who just thrilled every one with her acrobatic stunts. The par excellence of the show was the piamist, a former marine in the last war. He entertained with songs, “before women got the vote,” and after, weaving funny episodes to his ditties and creating hilarious laughter. He was a scream!
