EBONY FOLLIES
AT CLUB SAVOY

One of the finest and fastest
moving shows ever to appear in
the Miami area, is now being pre-
sented every night at Club Savoy,
"the house of joy"
The allstar attraction is none
other than the famed Vivian A.
Taylor's Ebony FollieS, of which
Charles A. Taylor a veteran of
the show world, is manager and
owner.
Featured in the stellar revue is
charming Miss Audrey Taylor,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Charles
(Vivian) Taylor, who is billed as
Princess Audrey. The Princess
stars in series of dance, aero
batic and novelty acts, as we'll as
thrills the house with her sweet
voice.
In addition to the Princess, the
Revue is filled with many other
sensational acts, including Baby
Seals, "Show-stopping comedian, +,
Stewart Gillian and Oscar "the
bronze Edgar Bergen and Charlie
Mccartney" the SavoyetteS,
line of charming housekeeping
chorus girls and many other all
star acts.
Music for the revue is furnished
by "Ham Bone" and his Tampa
Five, featuring "Satchmo" Scotty
on trumpet. Entertaining Charles
Galloway does the NC. role and
M1amiS own Sandy Green is
your congenial host.
In addition to the nightly ap-
pearanceS the revue will also be
presented at a special Sunday
evening matinee, every Sunday

until 8 pm. WIN Show time set
for 6 pm.
Popular admission prices pre-
vail both during the week and on
Sundays, and tables are free,
with small charge made for re-
QueSted reservations.
Sandy Green invites all of his
friends and patrons to come down
to Club Savoy any night for an
evening of selected entertainment.

Although musicians and nom
musicians like enormously the
pyrotechnicS of worlds greatest
vibraharpist" Lionel Hampton,
who brings his great new 17-man
orchestra to Dade County Audi
torium on Wednesday, Febraury
20 for a concert and variety
show, few non-muSicianS, which
includes most of us, know exact
ly what kind of an instrument
he's playing, Lionel has found.
In Lionels case, it's quite an
instrument - $500 gold-plat-
ed affair, the most expensive of
its kind in existence, presented to
Lionel by the manufacturer, the
well known Deagan company
which also makes church chimes,
carillons, etc.
Many people think it's a fancy
xylophone, and it is played like
a xylophone, but it's much more
more intricate mechanically.
Xylophones are small marimbas
(marimbas are big Xylohpones,
there's a xylophone marimba in
the middle) and have wooden
bars, with tubes underneath to
amplify the sound just as a pipe
organs pipes do.
But vibraharp - or vibra-
phone, depending upon who
makes it; they're the same thing
The Miami times., 1952-02-09

substantially - is an electrical
set of orchestra balls, like those
you used to see hanging up in the
pits of vaudeville theatres, be-
hind the drummer. 1t has metal
bars, and a motor which runs a
little fan at the top of each pipe,
performing the same function as
the pipe-organs blower, or the
little boy who used to pump the
organ in the little brown church
in the. vale. =:
LionePs vibraharp on which he
was an instrumental star for four
years in Benny Goodman's band
isn't the only electrical innova-
ton in his orchesra. He features
two violins, the only colored or
chestra to do so. But those two
violins are electrified, via a mic
rophone in each, an amplifier
and a loud-Speaker, and with one
man playing first violin, the
other playing second, Lionel gets
the effect of a complete violin
section of three first and three
seconds. Add that to his six
smooth brass, his five saxophones,
his four rhythm and himself on
"vibes" and you get band which
sounds much bigger than seven
teen. Not louder, for Lionel's music
is properly restrained, but bigger
and richer.

HOW MUCH IS 4 Blliioni

The national debt Of the United
States at present is $256. 600. 000-
600 1855 billion at present, q fig.
ure which cannot be comprehend
ed by anyon e-not even the
treasurer of the United State.
For that matter. how much is
one billion dollars?
Someone estimated t hat II
Adam began handing out 81 bills
back in the Garden of Eden, and
if he had continued until the
present day. be still would not
have given away S256. 900, 0Oo-
600.
Whether or not that is accur-
ate, one does not know. But sup.
pose we calculate one billion DOL
lar bills in acres and miles-terms
familiar mostly to farmers and
ranchers. An engineer with q
slide rule could do the problem in
a matter of seconds. Othert have
to do it the longer wsy-and
about like this:
A 81 bill measures approx
mately 2.56 inches wide and SO
inches long. If 100 dollar bills
were laid out in 10 rows Of 10
bills each, they would cover an
area on the floor of 174O.8 square
inches. or approximately L.
square feet. If 100 dollar bills
cover IL square feet. then 1000
bills would amount to l20 square
feet: l, 900. 600 bills would amount
to 120. 900 square feet; or one bill.
lion bucks would cover 120. O00-
600 square feet.
Since there are 43, $50 square
feet in an acre, the 100. 600. 600
square feet are equal to N55
acres. Thus the 1000. 700. 600
dollar bills would spread over
more than 4 square miles. or an
area mile wide and 4 miles
long.
If this be true, then the nation
al debt of $256. 600, 900, 600 would
lay a carpet over GAS, 6S2 acres or
1924 square miles. This would
be equivalent to an area 80 miles
wide and nearly IS miles long. If
you were to drive around this
enormous field of green. the
trip would total 100 miles.
