A danced tribute to JOE CINO’s lover, JOHNNY TORREY, ended touchingly with LANFORD WILSON’s Lady Bright (who had just done a segment about loneliness and lovely lads) rushing to cloak the kneeling youth with a cloth. The dance was done to Ravel’s “Bolero,” which was the music Johnny used to strip to after hours at the Cino, and the music Joe himself used for his last dance appearance at Judson Church shortly before he died.
