JERRY LEWIS

BY ED BRUCE edbrucevegas@yahoo.com

IN THE 1950S I WATCHED THE JERRY LEWIS ...DEAN MARTIN MOVIES IN VERDIGRE, NEBRASKA FOR 12 CENTS A TICKET....LOVED THEM !

IN THE 1980'S LEWIS AND SAMMY DAVIS JR PLAYED THE SANDS FOR $29....WHAT A VALUE THAT WAS. AS GOOD AS ANYTHING EVER ON THE STAGE !

IN THE 1990'S I ATTENDED ONE OF LEWIS'S TELETHON SITTINGS AT CAESARS PALACE. A POSITIVE EXPERIENCE !

ON SUNDAY I ATTENDED LEWIS FINALE OF 3 SOLD OUT SHOWS AT THE SOUTH POINT LAS VEGAS STRIP SOUTH.

LEWIS WAS..... IS...... AND WILL ALWAYS BE ONE THE HISTORIC COMEDY LEGENDS IN ENTERTAINMENT HISTORY.

UNLIKE THE MULTI MILLION DOLLAR ROMEO AND JULIET BALLET AT THE SMITH CENTER, LEWIS STARTED HIS SHOW RIGHT ON TIME AS DO ALL SHOWS AT THE PERFECT SOUTH POINT THEATRE.

AT 87 LEWIS CARRIES LOTS OF MILEAGE AND IT SHOWS....HOWEVER..... THIS WAS LIKE THE FAREWELL TOUR AND FANS CAME TO PAY HOMAGE AND THEY DID.

LEWIS DID 80 MINUTES FROM A CHAIR TOLD SOME JOKES FROM THE TELEPROMOTER....  MOST OF THE SHOW WAS REVIEWING OLD VIDEO HIGHLITES OF HIS STELLAR CAREER....VIDEOS CLASSIC STUFF AND THEY PLAYED WELL.....CLASSIC 1950 DUPONT VIDEO AND CAROL BURNETT AND LEWIS IN A SUPER COMEDY DATING STHICK......LEWIS TOOK 15 MINUTES OF QUESTIONS AND COMMENTS FROM HIS ADORING FANS WHO WERE FULL OF LOVE AND A GOOD TIME WAS HAD BY ALL.

ANOTHER FEATHER IN THE HAT FOR THE SOUTH POINT SHOWROOM MANAGEMENT TEAM.

THANK YOU.
