Bob and Peggy Valentine disappointed, refusing to go on No. 2, and Nell O’Connell was substituted. Nell must have been filled in at the very last minute, as her clothes seemed to need pressing and her voice had a peculiar rasping sound. She sang three numbers and closed with “Buddha” coming back for an encore with an Irish ditty. She just didn’t. And the little applause she did get was of the sympathetic nature.
