jumpstuff and yocals for your
approval.
Then newcomer Olive Brown,
specializing in bluesongs goes Nov.
ing to outskirts of town" to get the
house rocking and making her re-
turn and give out with two encores
OF "Confessin' The Blues" for some
but solidly warbling. Her voice is
slightly too high pitched for blues,
though, Iron Jaw takes his turn on
the boards and does some fine work

routine including a boogie skit
The finale OF out west atmosphere
was the top spot OF the show with

tempting to give a complete write
dig OF what went on and made up
the Easter go-round, this writer
took things easy and just by chance
saw the following persons all logged
out in their best bibs during the
Easter hours.
Easterstuff: Bernice Carter really
showed signs OF enjoying all that
went with the holiday. Emma,
Richard and lille Butler weren't
doing so bad for themselves at a
drink spot. Charles sWesver,
Josephine Jones and Viola Dusing
were also seen out. SBTs Mod
istine Young, Beatrice Richardson,
Lillian Amos and Ruth Mcintosh
did some elbow bending, just for
the fun OF it, Mr.. and Mrs
Bonnie Summons proved congenial
folks. Mr.. and Mrs. William
Hines also celebrated the big day.

rope dance technique. Son and
Sonny are worth some goodlv aD-

Three Toppers go jitterbug style for
some mitt pounding as their just
reward While Sahji. exotic dancer
