! which was repeated a half-do times
ana then some, at the frantic insistence
OF the audience Atlanta often has an
opportunity of seeing principals as good
as those IN the leading roles of Louisiana
! Lou, but seldom does a chorus of such
PE1uliIc,hritude wander down this way.

! OF the past several years, only two which
| equaled or excelled the Louisiana Lou
girls have been brought to local theater

last appearance here.
