...frenetic creation of some monstrous manager, or Jackie Susann. But those who have seen her on the concert or club stage-her natural habitat -realize that she is a diffident, dignified woman with a whimsical intelligence. She comes on with almost no preliminary patter, precious little makeup and a gown and a hairdo she does herself. There is none of the oppressive overproduction that is now the vogue in cabaret acts-the choreography down to the last twitch, the scripting of every gasp, the obtrusive gags.

...Bird's sense of theater did not emerge until she was well into her White House residency. Pat Nixon is barely emerging from the wings, but at a preview last month of Bob Hope's Christmas show, she turned up in an apricot-colored, clipped-velvet evening gown by Beene that lent a new breath of chic to the proceedings. With Clara Treyz beside her, the salon vote may yet be hers...
