Here Doris showed that she could dance as well with either the slow and easy, medium, or extremely fast friends of the dance floor. This little blues singer also made a hit with the great number of Aggies who went back-stage immediately after the show by singing the War Hymn. I know because this little j boy was back there. Another solid part of the show was the I^Iary Taft Dancers. Be ginning the evening performance was their privilege, and they real ly started with a bang. They ap peared in a very brief attire, which pleased nearly everyone. However, the grumblers could be heard whin ing about the shameful waste of material in these war-time cos tumes. Probably the most unique part of the routine was the fact that these dancers performed on roller skates. Of the six girls in this team there seemed to be only one who was outstanding. This fact was brought out by her ability to use her voice as well as her LOUPOT’S Where You Always Get a Fair Trade skates to the seeming enjoyment of all. Probably the most talented one in the entire show was Marshelle, who is very likely one of the best contortionists in the country. Her grace in performing her many in tricate movements was surprising to all and many fellows had to go home immediately after the show to rub their ribs to make sure they hadn’t punched through their skin. This was caused by Mar- shelle’s placing her forearms on the table with the rest of her arms held in a vertical position. From this position she would raise her legs to a vertical position also, when he boogied the War Hymn. The whole show was excellent en tertainment for everyone here at College. Brazos County A. & M.
