Wonderful World of Burlesque
This show did come to the Lakes Region, at the Lakes Region Playhouse in Gilford. I had the pleasure of serving breakfast to Tom Ewell when he came to Dorothy's Restaurant (now the Lyon's Den.) I also remember seeing several cast members at the Weirs when they went for a cruise on the Flying Yankee. Part of the act? Barbara Nichols wore a very deep cut swimsuit and she kept falling out. Up close, she was too old for that kind of stuff so it was more embarrassing than titillating. (Oops, sorry)
