Three Gangsters Get Life

DETROIT, Nov. 17.-Three mem

Raymond Bernstein, Harry Keywell

start out singing about blondes. 1t
is nifty, but the appeal is indef1-
mite. But they have the looks. The
sisters are used as a piano back
ground for Perkins and Ruth Petty.
This woman has the looks and she
can handle a song.
When Perkins allows Paul and
Nino Ghezzis to go to work doing
their human balance and endurance
stuff, real sensation follows.
I didn't care for the vocal fire
works Of the colored boy that Per-
kinS introduces. 1t seems to me
that some of his notes are not in
the book. Well, I must be wrong; the
audience went wild, and I will let
them win.
But it is the Perkins personality
that forces these acts to become per-
sonaHtieS.
Clyde Cook is a slapstick movie
comedian, and he is slapstick on the
stage. The result-an act that he
can do with all his faults and his
overdone ecomedy. Result-pleas-
ant audience reaction.
Russian Revels introduces a large
number of people. There is novelty
in dance as we'll as melody in this
act. Rather suggest that you do
not miss the first act The leader
needs more showmanship. He should
not stand in the way of the line of
vision of the audience. So easy to
correct.
