Every Tuesday and Thursday MATINEE Fanchon & Marco PROFESSIONAL TRYOUTS Gene Sez- Listen Folks: The boys are all learning the new "Black Bottom" dance. Funny? say you should see Shorty, the drummer doing "Black Botton!  Just as soon as I teach the gant to do this crazy dance we'll let them put it on for you. So far Eddie Parks is leading the gang. He has almost every step down perfect. Stanley Green, the other trumpet player, has been walking around all week with a coat hanger in his hand. After watching him carry the darn thing around, I finally asked him what the idea was. He told me he was going to court and expected wo win a suit. "Ignorance is bliss." That wonderful Fanchon and marco Pyramid "Idea" that caused so much talk at Loew's State Theatre is soon to be seen on the Boulevard stage. That "Idea" is by far the most pretentious yet produced by the West Coast Theatres and we feel very fortunate that the Bouldvard is going to present it. I'll bet you folks wonder how the boys amuse themselves between shows. Well, here the secret. They play CHECKERS! Can you picture a peppy bunch of fellows setting around pondering over a checker game? They claim that it rests their minds and soothes their nerves, but you and I know that there must be some other reason. I'm going to find out and let you know. Well, do your Christmas shopping early! So long, Playfully yours, GENE MORGAN Every Tuesday and Thursday MATINEE Fanchon & Marco PROFESSIONAL TRYOUTS WHO IS SHE?
