JACK SCORES IN CLUB DEBUT
By JOHN L. SCOTT [L.A. Times, June 22, 1957]
Jack Benny, who has won fame in every phase of show business but one—night clubs—made his debut in the bistro medium a highly successful one Thursday night at the Flamingo in Las Vegas. After a nervous start, the comedian, whose urbanity and timing are models studied by many younger funsters, settled down to capture an audience made up of stars, press and first nighters.
