That business held up as well as it did the first half, however, was undoubtedly due to the presence of Henry Santrey and his Jazz Band. Santrey and his crew of jazzy-harmonists did 42 minutes. The bunch just wouldn’t let them off, although Santrey did no jockeying for bows or in any way attempted to prolong his stay beyond the regular closing of his act. It’s in a class by itself, this Santrey act, made different because it contains real musicians who can jazz or play any old kind of music, classical or popular, and particularly so through Santrey’s delivery of pop songs. He did so many Tuesday night there was no keeping count. Had he wanted to make a “speech” he could have talked himself blue in the face, but he ducked the “I thank you,” and took it out in bows.
