Description Minerva's first revue, finally titled "Let's Be Intimate." Very much co-operative affair. Majority of Minerva Players will take part, some in sketches, others as vocalists. Most of book and lyrics are by producer Fred Blackman; sketches also by Lettie Craydon, Frank Bradley, others. "It's essentially an experiment." says Blackman. "Since Minerva opened it's produced only straight plays. Patrons have asked for music; now they've got it."
