With Great ‘On Stage9 Talent
Judif Clark
Have you heard about the new USO show coming? You
haven’t? Well, here’s the word. You’re going to have the
opportunity to see a really great show. Called “On Stage”
it will appear five days only, Nov. 24—28, in various clubs
around the station.
Take a look at this talent line-up. First there’s Earl Nickel,
M.C. — Comedian. He’s a native^
Chicagoan, who was born into show
business. He’s rated as a topnotch
performer by the pros with his
ability to sing and dance and
generally throw the audience into
hysterics.
Cast Of Stars
He’s played all over the world;
you may have seen him on the
Sid Caesar’s TV show and has
played the famed Palladium in
London. He’s a show all by him-
self but there’s more.
There’s Judy Clark, 5’4%” tall,
blue eyes, blond hair, and what
a beautiful doll. Oh, and she has
talent too. She’s a noted vocalist
and has starred in movies, on
television, and has had many
stage appearances. She’s a native
of Rockville Center, N.Y.

noted comedian. He’s George
Prentice of Lebanon, Pa. He’s a
1 puppeteer and you may have seen

Crosscut Of World Folk Music
With the advent of folksinging as a popular medium of
expression and entertainment, gatherings of folk singers,
called Hootenannies, have given these artists the opportunity
to tell the story of their times in song and versse.
Last Thursday an international cross-section of folk mu-
sic was aired over Armed Forces Radio and Television
on Hootennanny “65” at 8:30 p. m. The hour long
songfest featured local talent put-'®*'
ting forth folk music gathered
from Appalachia to Africa.
Master of Ceremonies, Bill Jen-
kins of H-3, hosted the show with
a mixture of his talents as sin-
ger, guitarist, and comedian.
From Dylan To Bluegrass
Two lovely little girls, the Brat-
ten Sisters, started the show off
by harmonizing their guitars and
voices in one of the most popular
modern folk hits, “Don’t Think
Twice.”
Following Mike Greenman’s
first touch of international flavor
of a Spanish folk song; a high
school group called the Four Mis-
ses and a Hit syncopated the
sweet sound of the presently pop-
ular “Taste of Honey.”
The Bluegrass sound was not
absent from Hootenanny “65”
when the Jensens Plus Two
came on with their arrangement
of “500 Miles” and “Bye, Bye,
Love.”
A pair of folk pieces peculiar
to the American scene, “House
of the Rising Sun” and “Blowin’
in The Wind,” were done by
Joe Pandolph in the style of one
of folk music’s top names, Bob
Dylan.
TEEN TALENT
— The Four
Misses and a
Hit, a high
school group,
give out with a
Hootenanny
version of the
popular “Taste
Of Honey.”
AH SO— Most Honorable Master
of Ceremonies of Hootenanny “65”,
Bill Jenkins, cuts a caper Japanese
style with a Tokyo Tinpan Alley
tune called “Thats My Baby.”
Africa To Moscow
One of the nation’s top tunes
more than a year ago, “Green,
Green,” and an African folk song,
“Cumbiya” were done in a man-
ner much reminiscent of the popu-
lar New Christy Minstrels by
two elementary school teachers
teamed up with two local sailors.
Instrumental time brought one
of Keflavik’s foremost guitarists,
Dusty Miller, with renditions of
“Nine Pound Hammer|’ and “Blue
Bells” in his own inimitable
style.
A big hit a few years ago by
Kenny Ball called “Midnight In
Moscow” was done in fine folk
fashion by the Bratten Sisters
under the name of “Moscow
Nights” for their second selec-
tion.
Variety-Packed Show

him do his “Punch and Judy”
show on Ed Sullivan or Perry
Como. He can be best described
as fabulous entertainment.
More Troupers
The other half of the feminine
set in this show is English born,
dancer, Thelma Wood. She’s been
in show business since she was 11
and is still going strong. She’s
been on six other USO tours and
has also toured with Gypsy Rose
Lee.
To “wrap it up,” we come to
the musical accompaniment. He’s
Lyle Weaver, the pianist. Lyle’s
from the small town of Tabor,
Iowa. His list of hotel appear-
ances is to long to mention here,
so suffice it to say, you won’t
want to miss him.
