...after more than 20 years' absence, burlesque is grinding away again in Manhattan. This week marks the 40th for a show called This Was Burlesque, starring Ann Corio, durable (circa 50) doyenne of U.S. strippers. And Harold Minsky, whose very name used to mean runways and rhinestones, tassel twirlers, talking women and top bananas, is back in town with a new show for the first time since militantly moral Mayor Fiorello La Guardia banished burlesque and even the word Minsky from theater marquees...

...Bernice Nicholls, wife of a polo-playing industrialist, swore that Broady invited her to his office once to hear a tapped recording of an alleged telephone conversation between her husband and ex-Ecdysiast Ann Corio. When Broady asked her if she would like him to make some more rec ords, she declined because, she said, "I was aware of the situation." (The Nicholls were subsequently reconciled, without Broady's dubious assistance.) ¶ Pepsi-Cola President Alfred N. Steele said that his telephone had been tapped without his permission or knowledge in 1954, when he was having "matrimonial trouble." Steele...

Early program directors fishing about for something to the taste of their audiences soon found that sex, as always, did the trick. The first experiment was with Ann Corio, who cooed nice things about Harvard men and not so nice ones about Yale, into Shepard Hall microphones. So successful was the program that the next week found a Radcliffe freshman, a Wellesley sophomore, a vacationing Vassar junior, and a Boston debutante comparing notes on Harvard men for the benefit of listeners...

...Lahr's sometime but overloving wife, Eileon Heckart handles a large and difficult part well. Singing, dancing and generally playing small-time vaudevillian, she does an intelligent and very able portrayal. Robert Weil, a barrel-bodied dwarf who did his all to hold up Ann Corio through three acts of "Sailor Beware," this season, turns up here as a two-bit Burlesque gagster, and is an extremely funny little man. William Mendrek and Ruth Homond, whose names appear on these pages from time to time, do their usually adequate job. And for purely local interest-besides some trim chorines...
