...snappy, melodic tune, made catchier by the sound, which promoters have already dubbed "newstalgia." That, says Composer Stevens, is "a bit of a revolting phrase," but accurate nonetheless. The band helps project the same image by dressing up in old-timey clothes ("early bad taste") and lolling around the stage like lazy good-for-nothing aristocrats.

...repairs. Variety's reviewer found the musical "transparent" and "flimsy," decided that it was more a concert performance than a show. So far, 30 pages of script have been doctored, four songs have been added and two dumped, but listeners have yet to spot a genuine hit tune.

As a tune-up for the Davis Cup competition, the Brazilian and U.S. teams played in last month's South American championships at Buenos Aires. The tournament was won by Texas' Cliff Richey, 19, the U.S.'s No. 3-ranked player-behind Dennis ("the Menace") Ralston and Arthur Ashe; in the process, Richey beat both of Brazil's Davis Cuppers, Thomaz Koch, 21, and Edison Mandarine...
