PROVING VERY POPULAR at Wellington's De Luxe Theatre are Laurie Jones and Reg Maddams, a light vocal and Wurlitzer organ act which is probably the first of its kind to be staged in New Zealand. Miss Jones is billed as "The Singing Usherette." She escorts patrons to seats just like any other usherette, then, at interval, perches on the theatre's Wurlitzer organ and sings popular songs to Reg Maddam's accompaniment. In the changing hues of a spotlight she makes an attractive figure, and her numbers are competently sung in snappy, modern style. A Wellington girl, Laurie is the daughter of Madame Foley, formerly well-known theatrical costumiere. She was brought up in the atmosphere of the theatre, but has had little theatrical experience. Reg Maddams is also a Wellingtonian; he has developed an individual and appealing technique on the Wurlitzer.
