BILLY ADAMS AND SPINVH,
those two irrepressible comedians,
have returned 10 the Club Steva-
dora with more of their wacky
pantomime and song and dance
routines. Billy steps softly but
surely ia his tap numbers and
Spivvy is as torchy as ever in her
rendition of the blues. They're a
talented duo and are brought back
again and again for bows and en-
cores.
A holdover from last weeks
show is tenor Charles Garlic. The
former star of Fred Aliens radio
program has several new numbers
this week. "Gianina Mia" among
them. Garlic is at his best in
that type of song. Helping to hold
the vocal fort is lovely Ethel
Shepherd. She's singing several
of the current favorites but our
favorite in her repertoire this
week is an oldie, Il Think of You, ="
as smooth a ballad as was ever
written.
Trumpet star Joe Blanket han
dies the sweet tones of You'll
Never Know" as well as he does
the hot ticks in Don't Get Around
Much Any More" aided and abet-
ted by his fine little orchestra.

genial host and master of cere-
monies.
