 Excellent support will be guaran- teed with the cast again showing Art rogers, Dot Barnett, Jessie Huston, Fred Palmer, Jack Gormley, George Rollins and Lubovka. GormIey and Rollins have proved a particularly adept team of dancers and don't for get for a minute that Fred Heider, whose dancing won him fame in ''Lis- ten Lester" is a comedian even much improved since his recent Broadway starring success. The B. A. Rolfe act can be summed up in just this manner. It is real musical com edy Of the revue type, with the ever popular jazz, comedy portrayed by a finished comedian, all punctuated by well arranged dancing numbers, with correct music directed by B.
