THE EARLE
LINEUP

Mary Baker and Beryl Gray to
the lyrical attempts Of the Beau
Caire Sextet. The singing enter
tanned capacity audiences all day
yesterday, even though 1t might
not stand the severe tests Of the
refined musical ear.
Miss Gray, with her "Kiki"
ensemble, proved the most re-
freshing contributor for the pro-
gram. A comedienne who relies
on the asinine to win her most
coveted applause, laughter. she
had the house rocking constantly.
Her staggering hips, accumulated
by the ribbon-like tight dress,

Dave Schooler, when and only
when at the piano, provides the
best feature of the program. His
dexterity with the keys sent
shivers of appreciation through
q quieted house. But when he
started to recite verse, and look
soulfully into the eyes of his two
fair dancers, and to dance him
eelf-he should have remained at
the piano.
