the company, and is stunning
woman with a wonderful voice, May
Thayer is the scintillating little SOU
brette. Bill Daley. the juvenile. and
Thomas Brisk. the straight man.

particularly pleasing and was en-
cored many times by the audience of
last night. The show has an aero
batic dancer. whose clever work
stands out as one of the real features
of the present theatrical season here.
She is good to look at and some of
her steps are absolutely amazing.
The costumes are all new, as is the
special scenery. and all in all the
Mike Sacks show is the best of it's
