comedy material Is fresher than
most and most Of it Is funny. He
has quietly of -hand manner, too,
that marks him cut above the
noisy, brash young men who too
often perform this master Of cere-

is Lenny Rogers, who leads one Of
the Romany Room orchestras and
contributes a couple OF songs and
a trumpet solo to the current enter

Mr.. Auer, himself, we are afraid,
manages to prove rather definitely
that movies are made by writer's and
directors and that no comedian is
better than his material. The first
portion of Mr.. Auer's appearance
clearly indicates that no director
had hand in it and hints strongly
that no writer did either. It Is one
Of those pallid personal-appearance
routines, ridden with cliches, SEEM

Mr.. Auer does get going, however
finally. Calling upon the assistance
of sad-appearing man named Ed
Lord and king -sized singer named
Allegra, he turns the latter portion
Of his turn into a sort Of 10-minute
'Hellzapoppin." 1t is loud, zany
slapstick and just the sort of thing
audiences seem to like in the middle
of the night. 1t is the sort of thing
that is funnier at midnight than al

Auer is performing it after dark.
