Saving the ace until the last, a charming India dancer named Lakshimi did an ably syncopated rendition of the myth of the creation of the world by Kali, the dread goddess who must create and destroy what she creates. Another effectively sinuous number of what was perhaps a spotty program was the story of Savitri, a charming legend of a faithful wife who cheats the Lord of Death of her husband in a neat pantomine...
...flashing-eyed, 20-year-old queen of the Western Hemisphere is 5 ft. 5 in. tall, weighs 120 Ibs. and has black hair, sweeping black lashes and a mouth compared by one inspired limeño to the ace of hearts. She also is heiress to a fortune of 500 million soles (more than $32 million at the free exchange rate).

But behind the trumpet, instead of the famous "Red" Ingle, Hollywood jazz fans saw a curly-haired youngster of 18-Ingle's son Don. At the traps, in place of "Ace" Estes, was Estes' skinny, long-nosed boy Gene, 18. They counted off the same way right around the stand. Last week, devoutly following in their fathers' solid-beat footsteps, the famous sons' five were the hottest band in Hollywood...
