Photograph article dated September 5, 1963, partially reads, "One of the most unique shows on the world famous Strip is now at the Hacienda Hotel, where Sid and Marty Kroft's [sic] 'Les Poupees de Paris' holds forth for three shows nightly. This extravaganza is booked for an indefinite stand and marks the beginning of top-notch entertainment at the Hacienda. It's a lavish Lido-style revue, with bare-bosomed show girls, dancers, comedians, big-name stars and even a tight-rope walker--all on strings. The entire production cost over $150,000."
