WAYNE ALBRITTON

"Behind the wheel of a 50 foot sailboat off the Maui shore; that's my idea of a good time!"

Baseball lost a hot prospect when Wayne Albritton, a college shortstop, opted to become a dancer. At 67, he returns for his tenth season at the Fabulous Follies. He discovered dancing when he got a severe case of measles at 6, and the doctor recommended it to regain his strength. At 19, he left his native Jackson, Miss., for New York and was immediately cast in the Broadway production of Carnival.

HANK BRUNJES

"Fishing in Canada is my idea of a good time!"

Hank Brunjes had barely turned 20 when he first made it to Broadway in the 1952 revival of Pal Joey.  He followed it up with a role in the original production of Leonard Bernstein's landmark West Side Story and then a succession of Broadway hits: Mame, The Rothschilds, Chicago, Working and Sugar Babies, the latter stint lasting seven years, including national tours.

LEONARD CROFOOT

"What better 'good time' could there be than still performing two—shows—a—day at 61!"

The original, show—stopping role of Tom Thumb in the Broadway hit production of Barnum was played by Leonard Crofoot, who at 61 is in his fourth season with the Follies. That performance is also featured on the recent CD: Broadway Scene Stealers: the Men.

RANDY DONEY

"Singing, dancing and acting make any time a good time!"

When a Follies cast member suffered an injury 11 years ago, Randy Doney came in to rehearse on a Tuesday, and on Wednesday he was on stage for opening day. Randy, 70, is still there. His extensive career began right after high school in Chicago when he joined a national touring company of My Fair Lady.  He landed in New York to appear in the original film version of The Producers.

DICK FRANCE

"A good time is anytime I spend with an easel, a canvas and my oil paints . . . preferably with my wife and dog nearby!"

Three decades of teaching dancing didn't dim Dick France's urge to go out there and do it himself, yet one more time! At 80, he is in his eighth season with the Follies after running the France Academy of Dance, with his wife Karrie, in Tucson, Ariz., since 1970.

Before that, Dick, the son of vaudevillians "Jerome and France" and raised in Chicago, had a distinguished career that began in 1948 with the touring company of Annie Get Your Gun, starring Mary Martin.

JOHN KENDRICK

"Zip—lining (suspended from a pulley on a tethered, incline wire) down a mountain is definitely a good time!

At 56 years of age, John Kendrick is the male "ingénue" of the Follies cast and is now in his sophomore season with the show. He grew up in upstate New York, around Binghamton and Ithaca, on the carnival circuit, which planted the show business bug in him early. As a teenager, he moved from midways and fairs to the stage, principally musical productions.
