"The Dancing Master."
They were generously applauded.
Ivan Bankoff opened after intermission in "The Dancing Master," and had the unique experience of being the first dancing act to appear. The unprogrammed girl who assists
Bankoff does some difficult toe work and is beautifully formed. Her solo work was graceful and she elevates without cheating. Bankoff sells his hoch specialty in his usual artistic manner, and was prone to kid a little. He kept tickling his assistant with a red feather that most of the acts were wearing. It proved to be a badge showing repeat orders for Victory Bonds. A pianist assists the dancers and they close with a Russian routine double costumed in wedding garments.
