Notes
Original Toronto Star caption: Eartha Kitt, currently at the Royal York's Imperial Room, is still successfully playing the role she initiated in both the Broadway musical and film, New Faces of 1952-that of the lithe, sensual sex kitten who is frankly after the better things in life. She has a style and vitality all her own and, critic Peter Harris gratefully notes, none of that annoying babbling between numbers like other performers.
