A full-sized musical Of sophisti-

Sheila Barrett, tall, humorous
brunette who has been a star in
Broadway night CLUBS for several
seasons, heads the cast and keeps
the acts moving with d sarcastic wit
that makes her as diverting in a
musical comedy as Helen Broderick
or Beatrice Lille.
Miss Barrett can sing well, look
intriguing and still do the comic
gesture so that she is-as she has
been in so many night club floor
shoWs-a one-woman revue.
Aside from Miss Barrett, the re-
mainder of the cast CT Crazy With
the Heat" are mostly unknowns, but
several of them are really talented.

world have both praised and con-

ing his debut as a serious conductor,
asked her to compose special
number for his program and she
wrote for him Concerto in Three
Rhythms" 1t was an appropriate
number for it had not only the seri-
Gus symphonic phrases but also the
overtones of jazz, which had been
the field in which both Whiteman
and Miss Suesse had first distin-
