Miss Germ! is.seen u the youthful dnncer and entertainer in "The Dmsk"--tut inn of question- able hottmstr--where customers ere "shaken down" for much more money than they ever intended to spend. March is the city prosecutor who re- solves to clean up this infamous re- sort. In doing so he incurs the en- mity of Alan Bale, husky bouncer of the place who is in love with Nancy.

The dia- logue is smart did sophisticated and the fluidity of the action is swift and my, despite the somewhat cramped locale of the English cottage. Engaging Performance ' Montgomery is smilingly at ease in even the most disastrous moments of his masquerade and -offerg per- haps the most maxing performance of his young career. He is entirely personable and not at all incongruous in the farcical role.
