The Alt Tibbs Review The All’ Tibbs Review visited 9 S.F.T.S., on Monday evening, ril 24th, with the fastest moving show that has ever been seen in these parts for some weeks. There wasn’t a dull moment from the time F/>L Jordan introduced the show till W/C Ingram moved a vote of thanks on behalf of the entire sta­ tion personnel. To put the performance off to a good start, Don Wright and his or­ chestra played some numbers. Never has such orchestra technique been heard on this station, and the sta­ tion personnel gave the orchestra a very warm reception. They went through the intricacies of Boogie Woogie to Operetta music with great facility. This show has plenty of gay music and punchy laugh-lines. The former was provided by such sing­ ing stars as Bill Posno, London’s leading tenor, Josephine Knapp, who has a lovely lyric soprano voice, Dale Morgan and his violin, gor­ geous Hope Wolfe, and Don Wright and his cello. The latter was pro­ vided by Bernie Conway, whose comical patter brought rounds of applause from the audience. Roy Head, magician, also entertained with his little wooden brothers, Joe and Dopey. Special mention should be made of the precision with which the chorus line went through their routines. The dance numbers were very attractively costumed and were a model of rythm and syncronization. Appearing with the Review for the first time in many months were The Johnston Sisters, the Singing Cow Girls, who are now members of the C.W.A.C., and about to enter the new Army Show. This was the last performance of this troupe for this season, and it is the sincere hope of all at No. 9 that they will resume their activities early in the fall <and visit with us with, another of their splendid shows.
