BIG TOWN MEDLEY
Rose, sometimes known as the
Bantam Barnum or the Mad Ma
hout, decided that, as a Snowman,
it was his privilege to fudge little
on the future and dream up the
way things will be on Broadway
when the last gun has been fired
and how the previously gay capitals
of Europe will take new lease on
life. 1t all makes for pleasant i'm
agining.
The new Rose show, inhabiting
his Diamond Horseshoe cabaret as
the fifth in line of successful pro-
auctions there, bears the title,
Postwar Preview," and, like its
predecessors, it is an elaborate and
fast-paced night club entertain
ment with a lot of vaudeville spe-
cialists and line of pretty girls.
AS Rose puts it, his is "a world
with not too much milk, perhaps,
but overlooking with honeys,"
Among the featured entertainers
are Walter Dare Wahl, acrobatic
wiz WILL hllOWAi IL
the showshops; Bob Hall, who does
impromptu lyrics in amazing
fashion; Chinese sword and rib
bon dancer named Chin Wan; dan
Ger Vivien Fay; Keith Hall, fine
tapdancer, and, of course, the col
ored "hot" singer Billy Banks. The
latter is an institution at the
Horseshoe, and deservedly so.
The show has been staged and
lighted by John Murray Anderson,
the noted stage director who has
done all of the Horseshoe produc-
lions; Harriet Hector directed the
dances; the score Is by Dana
Suesse, and Rose reverted to his
old trade to provide the lyrics. (He's
the gent who did Barney Google"
remember?)
If Postwar Preview' stays
around as long as some of the other
Horseshoe shows. the end of the
war we'll may catch up with it.
