There on trial for murder stood straight-haired, sloe-eyed Denise Labbe, 30, and her lover, Jacques Algarron, 26. Ever since their arrest more than a year ago, neighbors and newspaper readers had known the pair as "the Possessed," but cool, handsome Jacques and his pale paramour looked anything but demonic as they sat, clad in black, listening impassively to the charges.

...fandangos so modestly scaled, it stands in urgent need of witty sketches and catchy tunes. But the wit is uncomfortably sporadic and Vernon Duke's show tunes sound remarkably alike. Best thing in the revue is Comedienne Charlotte Rae, who is herself at her best in a pair of screwy madrigal numbers. There are two or three entertaining skits, but the bulk of them are either dead on arrival or let their lifeblood ebb away...
