PE. S-I540 BETTY LOU HOLLAND, featured dancer in "Annie Get Your Gun." helps the cast celebrate the 700th performance of the Irving Berlin musical at the Imperial tonight. Funny As Ever in a New Edition By JEANETTE WIEKEN To reverse the old saw, the more things stay the same, the more they change. This is true, at least, at the Second Avenue Theatre, where Menasha Skulnik and his gage arc cavorting in a new thing called, with no siastic loll" w-ing. As a re sult, they refuse to throw away Skulnik the original model.

And ho is blame them? Certainly not I. Not if they keep on polishing and improving with each show, as they have been doing. It's all there as before. The in troduction of Skunik in some im- probably but amusing situation, here as a baby sitter. Then comes the misunderstanding Utweon the young lovers, as usual the pleasing Lilly Liiliana and Leon Liebgold.

The chorines are in and out, irre pressible as they are ubiquitous. The volcanic Yetta Zwei ling again takes up her chase of the unwilling Menasha. while we in the audience again marvel at her verve. The switch in identities is there. as well as the patriotic pageant, i And, of course, the medley between Menasha anil Yetta is imperative.

For good measure, there's the! hilarious scene wherein our hero, I on the receiving end of an un- merciful beating, at last looks up at his assailant from a reclining position, and says gently, "Watch out. I have a temper." There's great fun in watching William SjegePs play, because everything is just as it should be. There is one of. the theatre's most finished comedians doing his stuff, surrounded by people who know their's. There are colorful songs and dances, good settings by Michael Saltzman, funny situations, and some new jokes new to me, anyway.

What more is needed for an evening of high entertainment. Balto Doctor Joseph Estray's "Doctor Social" is off for Baltimore today for its premiere on hursday.
