"PUSS PUSS" SHOWS
NOVELTY AT CASINO
Joe Bedini's Aggregation Good as Last
Year, When 1t Played Here Twice

"Puss Puss,' at the Casino, offered
patrons OF burlesque something pleasingly
unique, as the unusual name of the show
would indicate SO popular was the pro-
duction here last year that il was forced
to show twice. Last nights reception
would seem to indicate that Jean Bedni,
the producer of the show and its star, has
again struck very popular chord.
Supporting Mr.. Bedini were Minnie (Bud-
die) Harrison, Pam (Smiles) Lawrence and
others, who won many friends when they
were here with the show last year Mr..
Bedini feels that he owes the initial sue
cess of the show In a large measure to his
performers, and he made it a point to keep
his former employees with him where it was
possible.
