New Orleans Gets
South Pocific's'
Jeanne Bal

Jeanne Bal. who last was do
ing her singing here in South
Pacific" has turned up now in
the Sazerac Room at the Old
New Orleans. She gets along
fine in these closer quarters,
: too. Ranking among the more
attractive brunette lasses you are
likely to encounter, she has q
7 fetching manner and . listen
able voice that she projects with
a fair. Ballads are her speciality
and she runs trippingly through
a considerable parade Of them,
from such as Love Is Lovely
Thing" to Hi, Ho. Come to the
Fair" to some songs written es-
pecially for her. When Miss Bal
turns to the more sophisticated
of the original items it does
come out as sort Of wholesomely
naughty, but that's no serious
compliment. The Sazerac Room
also boasts a tap dancer named
Margie Robinson who is one Of
the best ever to set heel and toe
to that floor. She has q real
loose rhythmic style that's q
pleasure to watch. Songs by Les
Williams and music by Frank
Coviello round out the festivity.
Joe Study, a sort Of recurring
fixture at the Mayflower Lounge,
is back there again, along with
pretty singer Lynn Burns, as
before. This won't be an indefi-
mite stay as before, however,
but one of four weeks only. The
Hilton chain has tabled Mr..
Study and orchestra to I'LL the
Guy Lombardo spot at the Hotel
Roosevelt in New York, starting
April IL.
Other items: You have the
remainder Of this month to see
the latest Of those bright and
imaginative floor shows at the
Shoreham Blue Room. The new
one opens the first week in
April and Singer Tippy Stringer,
Bandleader Barnee, the Singing
Violins and the ballerinas are
at work on it now, hoping to
match the current enterprise. It
won't be easy because the pres
ent show is one of the best yet
staged by Bernie Bralove.

brink of insanity by her treat
ment, but it is Miss Totter who IL
the real victim Of the superin-
tendent's cruelty. Her mistake
is the fatal one Of becoming
pregnant, which suggests q
breach in the wall that could
cost Miss Lupino her job. So,
she pays.
The details Of both cases are
thoroughly explored in Lew
Sellers direction Of the film.
Obviously this is stark stuff but
commendable effort is made
to provide passages Of comedy
contrast. Miss Sterling Is high
ly useful in this department in
the role Of one Of those blithe
blends who looks on the best
side Of everything, which, the
courts must occasionally remind
her. Is going too far.
Cleo Moore. q girl with q keen
talent for mimicry which is
neatly woven into the plot OF
"Woman's Prison" Is also handy
in Frightening the basic dark
ness Of the Columbia film.

equal Of several performances

Despite the Presidents postal
pay veto and indications that
Congress will uphold it. chances
still appear very good for classi-
fed and postal employe pay
raises this year.
This is the view Of top Demo-
Gratis and Republicans in Con-
gress, who declare they will not
60 home this year until Federal
pay raise legislation is enacted.
There are a number Of rea-
sons why Congress is determined
that Government classified and
postal workers will get a pay
raise this year and why the
Eisenhower administration also
wants pay legislation enacted.
Primarily. it is a matter Of
politics. The Democrats are de-
termined that Government work.
ers get a pay raise so that the
Democratic-controlled Congress
can get credit for it.
The Republicans are anxious
for pay boosts so that the Eisen-
hover administration can get of
the hook on the issue. Repub-
licans generally concede it was
poor politics to twice veto pay
raises for the politically influen-
tial postal workers who also are
popular with the general public.
Some Republicans say the
G. o. P. lost control Of Congress
last year because of the Presi-
dents veto of the 5 per cent
classified and postal pay bill.
The few congressional seats that
swung the election to the Demo-
Gratis may have been lost because
of resentment of Federal workers
and their families over the veto,
these Republicans say.

Gated by the administration.
Actually, postal clerks and let
ter carriers would receive the
same increase that was provided
in the original 7.6 per cent meas
ure approved by the House civil
Service Committee. But the ad-
ministration wants the pay boosts
of rural letter carriers and spe-
cial delivery messengers m
creased slightly. and thus would
bring the bills overall average
raise to about 8 per cent.
AS for classified employees, Con-
