Presented in the world's largest cafe-theatre under the star studded Texas sky, the Casa Manana revue is noteworthy in many ways. Billy Rose, director-general of the Fiesta, has performed a true miracle in presenting a show that far excells last year's Casa Manana, a miracle that those who saw last year's show frankly did not expect to witness. The show is mounted on the world's largest revolving stage and the settings are unequalled for size anywhere. In the finale of the show, the stage is dressed with a set which, constructed in eleven se parate parts, weighs close to a million pounds.
