IN THE NEWS October 29, 1971  - The HOPE & TALENT MADE BENNETT headline references the fact that Bob Hope met singer Anthony Benedetto in a Greenwich Village bistro and promptly invited him to join his own show the next night at the Paramount."And, by the way," said Hope, "I'm changing your name to Tony Bennett..it'll fit better on the marquee." Much has happened since then and Tony Bennett shares his magic today at the Riviera Hotel's Versailles Theatre. Sammy Davis Jr, is back at the Sands Copa stage with special guest star Billy Eckstein and Glen Campbell takes a break from his CBS variety show to do an eight day gig at the Las Vegas Hilton. Not to be left out, Halloween Hop hostess Julie Thompson from the "Wonderful World of Burlesque" at the Slipper, shows her pumpkin for the 9th Annual Hallowe'en gala at the Stardust.
