STRUTTIN' DOWN AT THE CINEGRILL.

Byline: - Valerie Kuklenski

If you like cabaret - not the bawdy Bob Fosse musical but the old top-hat-and-cane variety - you might want to check out ``Still Struttin','' featuring two 60-something women with broad smiles and legs up to here.

The show, which ends its run tonight at the Cinegrill in the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel, stars Maybin Hewes and Kay Freeman, two stage veterans who decided to create a revue based on their experiences. For instance, Freeman, who considered herself ``a nice Jewish girl from Burbank,'' dyed her hair black, adopted the stage name Antonia Flores and played castanets to tour with Jose Greco right after high school.

Hewes, born on Bourbon Street in New Orleans, made her Broadway debut dancing in ``Pal Joey'' and talks about backing up entertainers such as George Burns, Carol Burnett, Carol Channing and Sammy Davis Jr.

Even with original music, the show has a traditional flavor, aspiring more to ``The Palm Springs Follies'' than ``A Chorus Line,'' but Hewes and Freeman have energy and enthusiasm that are engaging.

The Cinegrill is located at 7000 Hollywood Blvd. The cover charge for evening shows is $15 and there is a $10 minimum. For reservations and other information, call [phone].
