The men played an accompaniment on string instruments and resembled bandits in looks rather than dandified musicians, but they set La Gardenia off the more.
The scenic portion of her background was not in place at the Colonial Monday, due to the delay in re- moving it from the boat, but La Gardenia had Jive Spanish "troubadours" seated be- hind her while dancing.
She danced three numbers and for the finale gave a close imitation of the regulation "cooch."
The audience liked her and she will go well no doubt anywhere, but still she's a Spanish dancer; there's not a great deal of difference aiming them all. Seeing a Spanish dancer is like taking a ride in the Subway—you don't care how far you ride and the company doesn't either.
