GEORGE IUHBY-An Unu s ual Comedian. He is an imaginative mimic, singer, raconteur, piani st and dialectician. He blends all of these talents into each of his shows, leaving- the audience with the feeling they have just witnessed a dozen people perform rather than just one. He has been hailed as the finest impressionist around today. His repertoire includes oYer 250 voice s of the most distinctive people both in and out of show busines s. What is even more remarkable, is that some of his best subjects are women, a feat that is made possible by an unusual vocal range. To cap it off, Kirby's mobile face enables him also to a ssume the physical characteristics of thes e people for uncanny realism. Joe Louis, Louis Armstrong, Pearl Bailey, Ella Fitzgerald, Ed Sullivan, the late President Kennedy, Count Basie, Duke Ellington, and James Cagney are but a few of the celebrities who seemingly join him on stage. You mig·ht say that George Kirby is a student of human nature. He will never do an impression of anyone until he is certain that he has captured the true personality of that person. His impres sions are never caricatures. They literally mirror the individual, which is why they are so real. JOHNNY TILLOTSON has become one of the most sought after performers in the country within the last year. His top selling records, his many night club and TV appearances have marked the handsome young man as an important new star in the entertainment world. Johnny's long string of successful recordings has elevated him to his current eminent position in the music world. Unlike so many recording stars whose fame is of the short-lived variety made and broken by the evanescent popularity of a single recording of individual fad, Johnny has emerged as an artist of great appeal to all age groups. His is the sort of singing that relies for its popularity on the artistic ability and personality of the singer. There are no tricks, no doctored up recording techniciues, no fleeting fads behind the Tillotson success story. An extremely popular favorite with the younger set, he has won equally enthusiastic response from the patrons of leading spots along the major night club circuit. His very first release for that label "Dreamy Eyes" made the national charts. It was followed by a string of big hits including, "True, True Happiness," "Poetry in Motion," "It Keeps Right On A-Hurting," and "You Can Never Stop Me Loving You."

She does judo holds on partner Jan Howard. Halfway thru the act Jan does enough witty dialogue to be an act in itself. This team is unbeatable. Never before has a team taken an audience so completely. l JIMMY NELSON In Person THE GUTIS In Person With Danny O'Day, Humphrey Higsbye, Farfel and Ftatateeta Slapstick Act Spices Show Jimmy Nelson's nifty ventriloquizing is flawless and witty, and for all the act's video exposure it hasn't staled. The dummies Danny O'Day, Farfel, Ftatateeta and Humphrey Higsbye all come in for amusing repartee and a couple of vocal duets-one of the most entertaining acts in the Show. The Original Gutis-Jungle Land FantasyYou'll see the Gutis family of five plus two partners. In a jungleland fantasy, the members of this family appear as gorillas, kangaroos and many other animals. Theirs is a hilarious comedy act that has proved a sensation in performances throughout Europe and the Americas. \ DIANE SHEL TON In Person FERRY FORST In Person "The Girl With a Twirl" "Europe's Greatest Illusionist" National Champion Baton Twirler at age 12. Twirling a baton far above your head not only is difficult, but also can prove quite embarrassing. Just ask anyone who's lost one in the sun or lights or just plain goofed and got conked on the noggin for the trouble. One of the most mystifying acts in all show business is that performed by Ferry Forst, master illusionist, who makes his assistants appear and disappear, seemingly at will.
