Despite the absence of Her Four Gentlemen, Powell's act remained similar to her previous Las Vegas shows. She donned white tie and tails to open the show with a special lyrics to "I'm Having Myself a Time." She followed with a tap dance to "I Got Rhythm." She continued to salute Bill Robinson by recreating his famous stair dance. Performing Arts Encyclopedia http://www.loc.gov/performingarts Schultz, Margie: Eleanor Powell: A Bio-Bibliography.
