Vr" I) Blue Corn In Moorish Setting An unexpurgated edition of what will become Ben Blue's Barn Theater on NBC-TV this coming summer currently comprises the new show in the Casablanca Hotel's lavish El Morocco Room.

The former film comedian is sort of a relaxed Milton Berle; opening with a brief gag monologue, hoking up everybody's act, and assuming the role of a comic emcee. Fitting the title of his upcoming television stint (he'll be Sid Caesar's summer replacement). Blue parlays an abundance of corn into an abundance of audience laughs. His comic mentalist routine, for example, is strictly from the four-a-day. Much of his material, of course, will be censored for home consumption.

As it stands now, it's of a shade comparable to his own name. But the customers laugh themselves silly, anyway. On the talent side of the show is an outstanding vocal ouintet called the Whippoorwils.

4 NEW YORK, March 31 (V-Actress Gertrude Lawrence, gen 'Desert Song' Is Final Operetta Intrigues, romances and battles of the colorful shieks of the Riff tribe mark the Music Circus final presentation of season, "Desert Song," Tuesday through Sunday. The melodies from Sigmund Romberg's pen are enriched by the lyrics of Oscar Hammerstein 2nd and Otto Harbach. The book, upon which the presentation is based, is co-authored by Music Circus producer Laurence Schwab and Frank Mandel. The top melodies of the closing production include "One Alone," "Desert Song," "Romance," "Sabre Song," "I Want A Kiss," and the stirring "Riff Song." Holding hands in the romantic leads are Gail Manners as the erally regarded as british, isn't that at all.

They can sing, and they can act, and some day will become a big-time group. Other specialties are presented by Roberta Lee, a throaty thrush and an interesting foil for Blue's dead-pan clowning while she's warbling; Rae Alton, fast-stepping hoofer; and John Shelton, straight man for Blue's gag routines. Sock finish is provided by Blue, in the role of concert maestro, leading a "glee club" through their paces.

The ensemble includes not only the entire show cast, but a flock of waiters, bus boys and musicians for a hokum-packed but funny vocal and pantorrine exhibition. And at the very end, double crew-cut Blue announces: "Now we invite you all to come up here and dance. You laughed at us now it's our turn to laugh at you!" Chanteuse Wax A heck of a lot of show is the best way to describe the current bill at Mother Kelly's. Six acts are on top at the moment, ranging from tbe holdover Beachcombers musical quartet to vocalist Jackie Small, a pleasant tenor who's equally at home with an Irish ballad or a Tin Pan Alley hit. A chantootsie type is Patricia Lordier, a tall, slim redhead who chants in French, Spanish and English for a good hand.

She also essays the dramatic "Tenement and, for a girl, does fairly well with it. Record mimie Bobby Sherman emcees the proceedings; and, if you like wax works, you'll enjoy his satirical record impressions of Phil Harris, Billy Daniels and Jimmy Durante. For a clincher, he throws in an amusing stint based on the tune, "Old MacDonald Had A Next comes Peggy McCoy, a tall, founded redhead, with slightly risque ballads; and Paul Kohler Jini, a marimba team. Latter pound out a flock of standard march tunes and a coupla pops, while Kohler solos with a big rendition of the 'Poet Peasant Pass 'Raton Pass' Westerns can -set pretty confused at time. Even without Indian warfare, the producers seem to keep adding plot entanglements until the whole mess becomes a waste of talent and time.

In "Raton for example, the story leaps back and forth between a flock of plot lines. You can just about take your choice of Patricia Neal as a scheming adventuress on the make for two guys; a cattle range wars sans real hot action; and the romance of Dorothy Hart and Dennis Morgan. While performances by Miss Neal, Miss Hart, Morgan, and Steve Cochran may be about as good as can be expected under the chrcuaistances, the story is so confused that it might be necessary lo take notes as the film unwinds. SHOW BIZ WTVJ claims that Harnell (of Harnell Bass, two-piano roncert team) "is the only living composer with a 14-note reach."
