The George Sisters, popular early this week at the Riviera, show a New York East Coast taste for stage diversion that fails to ignite midwestern audiences. Despite high pricing and extensive press coverage, regional crowds did not erupt in wild enthusiasm, though the pair remains a top draw on the circuit. Both trained at the New England Conservatory and were CAS beauty winners, with a Havana prize in a $10,000 dancing contest under George White, reflecting divergent tastes across regions.
