The Best of Everything
THERE'S FUN at the
Birmingham Theater . . . as
a Broadway-bound com-
pany, "Do Black Leather
Shoes Really Reflect Up,"
opened last week before a
packed house.
The musical comedy has
been playing to capacity
audiences in Chicago for
two years . . . and is the
Windy City's longest run-
ning original musical com-
edy.
This is indeed a BrOther-
hood and Sisterhood prod-
uction . . . The two pro-
ducers, Libby Adler Mages
and Dan Goldman are
Jewish . . . Their company is
called Mavin Productions,
Inc. . . . The director, Mike
Nussbaum is Jewish . . . as
is Donna Kaye, choreog-
rapher . . . and Larry
Hochman, musical director.
But the show is very far
from having any semblance
of Jewish flavor . . . It is
about a former student
going back to visit the
Catholic school he
graduated from . . . and it
becomes a humorous, very
well performed and most
entertaining flashback to
the schooldays . . . through
elementary to high_ school
. . . with school classrooms,
confession sessions,
schoolyard fun, nun trio and
quartet, the Father singing
. . . Freshman High School
Frolic, senior prom, etc.
The music, singing and
dancing are wonderful .. .
more so in the second half it
seemed as the first segment
tended to lag in spots .. .
Taking co-honors with the
very fine cast were four
"magic" boxes that made up
most of the scenery except
for a few drops . . . The boxes
were a show in themselves
. . . with the performers
changing them around into
all sorts of school scenery
. . . Whoever devised these
boxes merits a star billing
also.
With two Jewish pro-
MiniVacations. Minutes Away.
Need to get away from it all?
And SAVE GAS, jump into
your car and drive to the
Northfield Hilton for a super
weekend fling at an un-super
little price. Go ahead - spoil
yourself. You deserve it.

ducers and a Jewish direc-
tor, you would sort of look
for a few errors in the
schoolways of Catholicism
. . . However, everything is
done without a flaw . . . And
it is wonderful to see the fun
side of life that goes on in a
Catholic school instead of
religion as too many non-
professional plays try so un-
successfully to relate.
"Do Patent Leather Shoes
Really Reflect Up?" has au-
thenticity, yet stays away
from the religious aspect .. .
It is a musical comedy in the
strict sense of the word .. .
and all of it is just that .. .
The original songs.are great
. . . the singing and dancing
are wonderful . . . the acting
is excellent.
"Do Patent Leather Shoes
Really Reflect Up?" runs
through May 10 . . . See it if
you can.
MICKEY SHORR is
now in the delicatessen
business down in Pasadena,
Fla.. . . It's called Bijou Deli
. . . and people are coming
from all over to see Mickey's
new spot . . . Take it from
ex-Detroiters Ann and
Ernie Iczkovitz and Anne
and Jack Belkin, "It's about
time we got a deli like we're
used to back in Detroit."
GROUND BREAKING
for Sisters Chicken & Bis-
cuits was recently on
Woodward and Marshall
(81/2 Mile) . . -with expecta-
tions for opening in about 90
days.
. IS IT TRUE . . . that the
Standard Club which closed
doors in the Detroit Plaza
. . . after so many years with
the Book-Cadillac . . . may
take over Oscar's
on
restaurant-nitery
Northwestern?
THERE IS A dinner-
theater in town that has no
name . . . just a style . . . It's
called Gonzo Theater that
has begun its fifth month at
Stouffer's Northland Inn on
J.L. Hudson Drive . . . Its
run is for an extended
period . . . with changes.
What was once called The
Grogshop, with peanut
shells on the floor, is today
the site of Gonzo Theater .
comprised of a series of
humorous blackouts .. .
funny dialogue . . . spoofs on
commercials . . . spoofs on
life . . . a "duel" between two
gourmets, etc.
A cast of four persons are
on stage . . . Ralph Valatka,
Kelley Crowley, Hal Doyle
and Beth Hallo . . . perform-
ing Friday and Saturday
evenings with dinner
served at 7:30 and show at 9
p.m.
are
parts
Some
naughty but nice ... done
very cleverly and far
from offensive to anyone.
Gonzo Theater is a well-
paced entertaining series of
spoofs in good fun . . . Most
of the dialogue is excellent
. . . and the performers are
laden with talent.
It's fun . . . the cast all
comes off stage to sing
happy birthday in unison to
celebrants . . . The humor-
ous short' skits show a lot of
.7' k
■ • •
talent while tickling the
funnybone.
Gonzo Theater seats
about 70 with mostly all in-
dividual tables for two or
four and larger numbers .. .
The sitdown dinner is a big
asset rather than those
cattle-packing buffets.
Gonzo is a delightful eve-
ning.
ERRATA . . . made a
boo-boo on name of delic
tessen opened at Tally-Ha_
. . . It's not The Deli . . . this
is at Muirwood Square on
Grand River and Drake .. .
owned by Sandy Greenberg
and Mike Onofrey. The Deli
Place is at Tally-Hall.
JOAN FELDMAN, pro-
ducer of "My Fair Sadie"
being presented by Rey Ut
Unit, Bnai Brith . . . April
4-5 . . . at Oak Park High
School auditorium, is one of
the very talented gals who
rewrote the lyrics and play
. . . Others are . . . Linda Er-
lich, Marilyn Rothstein,
Kendra Tobes, Judy Bloom-
berg and Elaine Bass.
The members rewrote the
"My Fair Lady" show with a
complete Yiddish flavor .. .
such as lyrics like "Sadie
makes exotic dishes — spe-
cialty is knishes" . . . and it
is entirely in English .. .
Also Sher and Hora dancing
at the wedding party scene.
Recent rehearsal had
Phil and Eve Spitz, par-
ents of Steve Spitz, enjoy-
ing every moment be-
cause they won't be in
town for the show ... It
was Earl Freeman's 38th
birthday . . . and Carol
Stoller baked a cake to go
with - the ice cream .. .
Carol takes a cake de-
corating class so brings a
cake to almost every re-
hearsal • • • Paul
Feldman, who plays a
gay gent, practices his
"swish" daily in front of a
full-length mirror at
home . . "I'm retiring my
wife from show busi-
ness," says Mike Bloom-
berg, but Judy says
differently.
Rey Ut Unit of Bnai Brith
could be the group taking
the place of those wonderful
Infant Service Group shows
the community used to love
. . . and to this day still miss.
There is so much tale
among the Rey Ut memb
ship . . . singing, dancin
acting, comedy.
"My Fair Sadie" by the
membership . . . April 4-5
. . . at the Oak Park High
auditorium on Oak Park
Blvd. . . . should be the
amateur smash of this or
any year . . . if rehearsals
and enthusiasm are much
indication . . . In the case of
Rey Ut Bnai Brith's "My
Fair Sadie" they are .. .
very much so.
GOOD WAITRESS
DEPT. . . . Former Darbys-
ite Chris Lancaster .. .
know-all personified when
it comes to taking care of
customers . . . at Pickle
Barrel on 12 Mile and Ever-
green.
