Comedian MGgicianS
At Club CnyO HuesO

Frank Brosseau and Sandra
Manning, well-knoWn as Amer
ica's "swing" magicians, are the
featured attraction this week at
the Club Cayo Hueso. They pre-
sent a smart satire on the modern
magician and his assistant.
All parts of the act, according
to the clubs management, are
presented with the one desire to
make their audiences laugh. In
addition to the magic act, Sandra
Manning will be seen in several
outstanding dance originations.
These clever tricksters come to
the Club Cayo Hueso direct from
an extended engagement at the
Patio Grill at the Roosevelt Hotel
in Jacksonville and the Palm
Room at the Hotel Tampa Ter
race in Tampa.
