ARMY SHOW IS
FAST ONE With
CLEVER ARTISTS

A five man, all soldier vaudeville
group, billed as the Richardson
Revels," gave Juneauites a delight
full professional entertainment last
night in the Juneau High School
gym, and the show went over big.
With Army like precision, the
show started at o'clock, and with
time out for spontaneous bolster
Gus applause. scores of times, ran
65 minutes of funfest.
There was an old Weoer and
Field vaudeville act, that hit the
funny bone, an army skit brought
up to the minute; patter talk with
come backs from audience spots:
big time accordionist, VINO played
classical and topical selections and
also furnished all incidental music
during the show; baritone selections,
ending with odd Man River" never
/ heard better in Juneau, and finale
tight rope act that was profession
al, start to finish
The announcing was clever and
fast and nothing dragged, it was
smash show that gained in mo-
mentum as the good things were
presented
Sgt. Larry Butler, was the an
nouncer, skit performer and BARI
tone singer Private Walter Roguicki
was the accordionist Pvts. Sid
Yosovitz and Saul Brown was the
comedy team and the tight-roper
was Pvt. Ryerson Gaudet. The lat
ter showed his professionalism, all
right, and for good reason. He was
in circus at l6, became a circus
main attraction soon after, then
went into vaudeville, being billed as
Ray Goode, the Daring Young
Man, and left circus and vaude-
vile for the army via Fort Custer.
Yosovitz and Brown, before en-
listing as soldiers, played at night
clubs in and around Boston and
toured nearby army camps with a
talent troupe to finally become sep
arated. They discovered each other
on the same steamer Alaska bound
and then laid plans to reopen
their act.
Roguicki gave his first public re-
cital at IL in Orchestra Hall in De-
troit, at Is was heard nightly over
WMJ with Simons orchestra, then
played hotels and night clubs before
enlisting.
Butler is a Santa Barbara, Calf

won a statewide radio song contest
He was also in demand as an
nouncer and master of ceremonies,
which he demonstrated most salts
