...first number in the show which I thought had any merit at all turned out to be the best of the evening. Clare Scott sings a song called "Mogambo Rag"--musically, lyric--and performance wise a perfect revue number. Miss Scott's abilities have been extolled before, and she has only gained in charm and attractivness since her appearance in School for Scandal.

...advisers to one of their number whom they recognize as their leader) who is a member of an army which he controls, and which he uses to maintain his sovereign power. Egypt was a military dictatorship in 1953, a sit is at present. Mr. Lilienthal would be wise not to perform like the loudspeakers in Orwell's "1984" spouting such things as "War is Peace." The Bussian publics; yet who wold be so naive or malicious as to call Russia a republic. I am proud that the united State is a republic; and if Mr. Lilienthal wants to serve...
