NEW YORK, July 19—Visitors to New York who have no idea where Jones Beach
show at the Marine Stadium may cease worrying. Todd is making it easy for anyone to get out to the 8000seat open air theater on the south shore of Long Island to see his extravagant production of Johann Strauss’ operetta, “A Night in Venice.” Tickets, of course, can be bought at the scene or by mail. However, to facilitate matters Todd has set up a box office sale in Manhattan at the Broadway Theater. He also has a deal with the Long Island R.R. whereby its trains and. busses will take customers and Patricia Neal in "Diplomatic Courier" (Circle, Thursday); Yvonne DeCarlo and Rock Hudson in right to the stadium for a com- "Scarlet Angel" (Lyric, Friday); Vilma Kurer and Jack Manning in "Walk East on Beacon" (Loew's,

Since Chic Allen (Dean Martin) left his song and dance partner Hap Smith (Jerry Lewis) to join the paratroopers, Hap continues the act with Betsy Carter (Mona Freeman), On the eve of a big audition Chic asks Hap to help put over a camp Show in “Jumping Jacks,” Indiana, Thursday. -
Hap is dubious, but finally agrees. To pass as a regular soldier he wears the uniform he uses in his dance act and is given the credentials of a real soldier who agrees to stay out of sight. Hap, Chic and the troupe make a big hit with the General, who orders the show to play other camps under his own supervision, and with Hep s presence a must. The pseudo.soldier tries to escape, but his buddies are in too deeply to have anything go wrong at this late date. His fellow-conspirators force Hap to take on the other soldier's identity for the duration of the shows—the soldier agreeing to stay in hiding. 5 i“ ,
Hap reluctantly agrees to play the part of a paratrooper. He calls Betsy who threatens to quit the team if he doesn't report to the night club for the audition. Then his outfit gets orders to move on to the next camp. At a train stop Hap disappears and turns up at the night club on time. - Chic tracks him down, and immediately falls for Betsy. He rushes the bewildered Hap to Camp Crutcher for their next show, In the meantime, the real soldier is discovefed in hiding and questioned as a spy. When the truth is learned, the search for Hap begins, However, there comes an order for instant maneuvers and Map is caught in the swirl,
