Scope and Contents

Local news segments report on the Stardust Hotel's Lido show's final performance. The show closed after 59 years. Dancers, showgirls, and other previous cast members gathered at a local bar to pay tribute to the show including a brief clip with Donn Arden (show producer). The segments note that it will be replaced by a new show at the Stardust that will include Bobby Berosini and his organutans, as the Stardust is "heading in a new artistic direction." Some of the segments include a brief history of the show, with black and white stills from previous performances. Valda Esau, a former performer, speaks on the show's history. Ted Lorenz, the new "Enter the Night" producer, speaks on the new show, and Linda Anderson, a showgirl, speaks on the sadness of the "Lido" show ending.
