J The" "last part of the program is lighter in nature than the first, but in entertainment value it will surely appeal to everyone. I Those masters of harmony, the "Riggins brothers" with their own string accompaniments open their part with the latest popular tunes, among which is "Dream Train" one of the, most beautiful numbers of "the past few years. There are numbers of other special acts in this last part which no one can afford to miss. Freddie Rumph, the black fac</has a new act that is a "wow." It is entitled "Selling Whoopee." | The program from beginning tg 'end? is fine, full of spice, fun, entertainment and appeal.
