Headlining the show are Veloz & Yolanda, whose sleek, accomplished ballroom dancing ranges from sambas to minuets, from pirouettes to parodies, but palls like any other meal after 13 generous helpings.

She is a sleek, 58-ft. yawl, built for racing. Since October she had been in the Coast Guard's offshore patrol, hunting subs. Skipper Curtis Arnall in civilian life was a radio actor and well-known yachtsman; his mate, 33-year-old Joseph Choate, left a job at New York's Guaranty Trust Co. to join the Coast Guard; none...
