Marilyn Rawlins gave the first night's most finished performance in the pivotal role of Rosa; she needs only a bit more "weight" and presence to fore-shadow the grandeur of her deed at the climax. Why anyone saw fit to dye Miss Rawlin's honest red hair to black, however, as well as fitting her out in a costume and coiffure that belong to the Vassar cocktail hour rather than an innocent Italian peasant girl--is quite beyond me; one hopes that it will be soon corrected...

...champagne (at $30 a bottle) for the discriminating. One night she dared to charge Al Capone $1,000 for a round of soft drinks. But in 1931 the Feds closed down her "Country Club" on 58th Street, caught buxom Belle as she tried to skedaddle across the roofscape in red pajamas, and saw her sentenced to 30 days in a Harlem jail, where the warden thoughtfully put her in the prostitutes' ward "because he thought I would be more comfortable there...
