Chic Johnson in `Hellz-a-Splashin Aqua Festival` at Flushing Meadows Ampitheatre. A water-themed variation of their outrageously zany and dynamic Broadway musical comedy revues such as `Hellzapoppin` (1938-41), show was produced by veteran circus promoter George A. Hamid. Also featured in show were several singers, high-diving stars, bathing beauties and leggy dancers. This was the team`s last major show together before Chic Johnson died in 1962.
