The full country music en tertainment cast on the finale billing lists Billy Grammar in a first appearance here, with a repertoire that includes his big number, “I Gotta Travel On,” and Mother Maybelle and the Carter Sisters, long-time show personalities. Kitty Carson and Dolores Dinning of the Dinning Sisters will appear at all three shows with Smiley Wilson, who had the teen-age favorite, “Run ning Bear.” The Duke of Paducah will be on hand for homespun comedy.

The show will be a benefit for the Veterans of Foreign Wars of Kansas City, Kansas.
