| Show Dancer With Naughty Wiggle Headlines Orpheum Stage Show By CANDID KAY If Dad and Mother were amused by bv such theatrical fare as The Gay RevUe as the Orpheum theater led us to believe in their advance ance advertising ad of the attraction they had a widely different basis basis' upon which they judged Either that or the bally baBy hoo is aU all wet One other point I must take issue wIth the Orpheum They advertise a star and show consciously conscious conscious- ly or otherwise gave Salt Lake the idea that The Gay Revue is a road show attraction Those tactics arent aren't fair because a goodly 70 per percent cent ot of the revue ue Lc Is home talent and personally I question the wisdom of them for people do resent being misled mis- mis led Salt Lake may be starved for stage show attractions but revues such as this one wont won't fill the billand billand bill bill- and it goes back to that business of you can fool all ot of the people some ot of the time etc The screen fare at the Orpheum this week Is sufficiently It needs no a tale stage show The latter I believe c detracts certAinly it adds nothing nothing- Little Morocco authentically from the Worlds World's Fair presents two good numbers a coutchie and a veil dance and Val Valarie does a first rate can There are arc the top spots i ot of the show although Irwin Levy received re- re generous applause for his Mexican Impressions with guitar and fair voice oice and a bit or of eccentric dancing The rest of at the included Don Tibbs' Tibbs band in a couple of at numbers a tableau featuring the bathing suits of at then and now year old Baby Doris doIng art an impersonation ot of Mae West and singing Frankie and Johnn Johnny and Oh You Nasty Man Katie Griter singing Curse of an Aching Heart a ala la 1900
