Onstage, Songstress Clooney's gestures are deft, her manner friendly. Her working costume is never sexy or slinky, always demure white, usually with a fitted bodice and flaring ballerina skirt.

Lucille, who was wearing a sweater and skirt, he cried: "Thass a honk o' woman!" and asked: "How would you like to learn the rumba, baby?"
