Oriental Ollie's Exotic Rendezvous is the gathering place of all the fashionable people in New York City. Proprietor Gary Frohme enters dressed properly in the latest style--shocking pink turban and matching robe--with the leading businessman of the town, Skip Martin, Esquire, and his pretty secretary, Alice Bliese. As they are seated, twin waiters hurry to serve Mr. Martin and Alice. Their orders taken, Jerry Kuhn and LaVern Fouks, gold-dust twins and waiters, hurry to the cooks, Patty Dado and Sandra Setter. They take the order and shoo the twins out of the kitchen (which is in a mad shambles). Screams of Who spiked the shisk-ka-bobs awaken Gary Lenselink, tuba soloist for the Desert Five, who stays in a back room of the restaurant. Suddenly he remembers to get Rog Swanson, (trombone), Mary Lou Sias (flute), Marlene Johnson (drums), and Duane Klatt (oriental gong) ready for the evening performance. When lil ole Mary Lou arrives, late as usual, the musicians rushfor the orchestra pit--and nearly stumble over doorman Dick Locke who is on his way to the kitchen to replenish his supply of watermelons. He puts one under the saddle blanket of every contraband cow pony he sells. This makes them look more like camels—(to go with the oriental atmosphere of the Rendezvous.) At the Desert Five step on stage a round of applause is heard from the crowded floor. They play their opening number, Slippery Sands, composed by Ed Vick, prominent tin-pan-alley song writer. Ed is in the audience tonight with the well-known lady lawyer and friend, Mary Thompson. Let's take in the crowd. Seated at ringside are gossip columnist Rebecca Hedda Kuhn and her boss Marv Christensen, both of Nite Times, New York's famous society weekly. Seated in a secluded corner, behind a potted palm tree, is Dr. Douglas DeBoer, president of the Princeton Institute for Advanced Study--he seems to be figuring out an important formula on the Arabian silk tablecloth. Well, here is a surprise! Jim Grossenbacher, multimillionaire fur farmer, is wining and dining the pretty black-haired girl named Vinita Hawkins who gave him his first mink and started him out in business. Winding her way through the crowd is Judy Harmon, fortune teller and tea leaf reader from mysterious India (by virtue of an application of brown grease paint). She sees the table of some well known big game hunters and goes up to them to read their fortunes. First comes Mrs. Buck (nee Marlene Church). Her future revealed, she leams that she is to take a long and dangerous journey--which comes true when she and her big game hunter husband go to Africa in search of the rare anteus vargus (Purple-people-eater) for Wendell Paulson's zoo. Wendell is there now with the Bucks' party. Another interesting person at this table is Donald Newville, D.D.S. Don's fortune is that he will find gold in his life soon. How soon he does not realize because very next day he extracts a wisdom tooth with a large gold filling. The fortune teller moves on to a table for one, where an unhappy Air Force pilot is sitting. Cross my palm with silver” is heard and the fortune read is You will find the valuable object you have lost near Austin, Texas. Oh boy! says Bob Pierson. Is that where I left my plane! I wonder if the crew has missed me?” The table for two, that nice secluded one, is occupied by Mr. and Mrs. Duane Riley, who seem to be enjoying themselves immensely. As the fortune teller goes by, Mrs. Riley (Ruth Ann Rickey) is heard to say, I wonder if the children are alright. Maybe I should call the sitter. Such anxiety is not unusual to mothers of half a dozen. Fashion designer, Marlene Martin enters with a dark haired handsome man just in time to catch the next number. We can hear just a bit of their conversation. They seem to be discussing Cleone Banks and Joyce Minor, the famous friends who have their own dark glasses company. They make at least 10,000 pairs per month. Just time to mention Karen Larson and Don Olson. They have again won the nation's tango championship. This makes it 3 years in a row. Perhaps they can be persuaded to give us an exhibition later in the evening. A hush falls over the crowd as Richard J. Hammons comes on stage to announce die next act. Ladies and gentlemen, says the broadway actor and M.C., tonight we have a treat in store. The stars of the Metropolitan Opera have consented to sing for us tonight. They will be accompanied by Kaye Ellingson, who has just won an international contest for piano virtuosos. I give you Carol Benson and Mary Jo Nordahl singing Jelly RollBlues! 19
