Can you help? Dame Edna needs our help! While Edna is primping for A Night with Dame Edna (The Show That Cares), opening a two-week engagement at the Aronoff on Tuesday, the megastar's alter-ego, Barry Humphries, is busily researching Cincinnati.

Humphries recalls that, back in the 1950s, a friend of his traveled from Australia to Hebrew Union College. "He would send us things about Cincinnati.

"There was a Cincinnati dancing pig song. It was totally inane. I'm eager to get it on CD." The ever-wicked Humphries added, "some of your geriatric readers will remember..."

If you can help out Humphries and Dame Edna, call Broadway in Cincinnati, 241-2345 ext. 211. For show information and reservations call the box office at 241-7469.
