al outstanding feature artists for
the benefit of all Aggies, the Air
Corps, and the faculty. Included
among the special entertainers
scheduled to perform Tuesday
evening are Armand Delmar, sen
sational juggling artist, who sub
stitutes his toes for his hands in
his performance; Marshelle, petite
young contortionist, who comes to
Aggieland labeled as “America’s
most amazing girl.” This acrobatic
little Miss has been a featured en
tertainer in many of the popular
night clubs in the East and has
only recently finished engage
ments at the Edgewater Beach
Hotel, in Chicago, and the Bever-
ly-Wilshire Hotel in California.
Also, the Ma^y Taft Dancers, Chi
cago entertainers who execute
their intricate dance routines on
roller skates while clad in only
the scantiest of wartime ward-
lobes. This promises to be one of
the most popular acts of the even
ing. Another act which should cap
ture the enthusiasm of the audience
is the show’s hot blues singer,
Doris McBride, who although only
reaching five feet two above the
floor, possesses a deep husky voice
she used to great advantage as she
gives out with the sweet and low.
Beth McMurray, commedienne dan
cer, and Master of Ceremonies Lon
Fishback, Jr., round out the at
traction for Tuesday evening.
Mr. Fishback, one of Hollywood’s
most promising young hopefuls,
has been under contract to Metro-
Goldwyn-Mayer for the last four
years, appearing last in “Best Foot
Forward” with Lucille Ball and
Harry James, in which he had a
prominent speaking role. While
serving as master of ceremonies,
he offers another lively little
novelty, of doing a comedy im
personation of various popular
songs, taking them apart and ex
plaining them as he goes. In pre
vious performances this has been
one of the best-liked acts of the
show.
And, as all good shows must
have music, Billy Taggart and his
orchestra will be on hand to pro
vide the audience with his inter
pretations of the hit songs of to
day and yesterday. Numbering
eleven members in his musical unit,
Taggart plays a wide variety of
