...comics, and tap dancers. The De Marcos come down from the St. Regis and live to do a very nice bit of dancing. A troupe of jugglers awes very efficiently. Jane Pickens is lovely to look at and O.K. for listening, too, except when she teams up with some tenor fellow who flats around here and there as the show's romantic lead...

Broadcast from the Empire Room of Manhattan's Waldorf-Astoria, the show is aimed at matrons with better-than-average bankrolls, is as sedulously shallow as a column by Lucius Beebe.

All week winners of sectional contests had crooned, bleated and harmonized before a tableful of solemn judges. The performance to beat, all knew, was the precise, satin-smooth Just a Dream of You and Mandy Lee of last year's champs, the mustachioed, white-aproned Phillips "66" Barflies of Bartlesville, Okla. Most favored challengers were the Flat Foot Four, a quartet of Oklahoma...
