- Abstract
- In a two week run, a mixed program of monologues by Ruth Draper and tap dances by her nephew Paul Draper; Draper just returning to United States after a period of exile abroad because of his blacklisting.
John Martin in the New York Times (January 9, 1955) wrote: "It is immensely agreeable to have Paul Draper back in the wilds of Broadway, getting us all mixed up again about the difference between the highbrow and the popular entertainer. . . He is dancing brilliantly these nights; he has developed a fabulous speed and delicacy in his feet: Bach Gigue, Alcina Suite, Irish Jig."
