The Bar of Music idea is n popu- lar palU-rn down here, allbouKh lit- tli* known in New York. exccptinR al the Hickory House, where the band and entertainers are surround- ed by the large bar which services the customers. .Mother Kelly's is doinu OK with a siin:lar stunt allhouith the show is hit and miss. Some of it is t(o"d. but. in the main, it's noiide.<:cript Mother Kelly, who is neither a mother nor a Kelly—he's of Italian extraction, as is Jimmy Kelly in New York's Greenwich Villot'e—has been havine ACVA trouble, hcnec Owen and Parker, long his standbys, couldn't work there. The chubby Georee Owen and his partner. Park- er, are Miami Beach fuves and have shifted into the new Wingy's Park Avenue Club, nee the Rumpus Room. Latler adjoins Dave Sinner's Park Avenue restaurant, a top straight eatery where the menu is very New Yorky with prices to match. The 'Wingy's part pertains to the front man. Yvonne Bouvier is due in for the formal opening next week, but the Informal previews disclosed a nicely decored interior. Art Chiiders' Spot Art Childer.s, too, has a very .xwank straight eating spot in down- town Miami, called the Little Royal Palm Club, now that the big Royal Palm has gone over to the Navy, It's air-conditioned, with a band, but no show, and average dinner check is $5, a la carte. The Old Forge on 41st, the rialto of the Miami Beach, is another class eatery, with French cuisine and very Ultra, Of the hotels, few of which have been spared 'by Army takeover,'the Versailles is now under William Malamut (Atlantic City) operation, under leasehold from a French syn- dicate which was considered Vichy*- soisse because of its 'restricted' policy. It's appalling that the 're- stricted' thing even started out, that way this year, considering that that's one of the things all democracies are fighting to do away with, but as soon as business started to wilt, the prejudicial - inclined hoteliers dropped the idea of segregating 'Gentles only' from their registra- tion. The Versailles has become the high of the Beach, a cross between the Ronoy-Plaza and Walter Jacobs' Lord Tarleton, which got the cream of the show crowd. Both of the.se are leased to the Army. Jacobs him.selt has moved his faimly's hotel activi*- ties to Hollywood. Fla., some 17 miles north of Miami Beach, at the Shel- don, and the loyal few such as Jolson, et aln followed him there, having the added advantage of being away from the soldiers, although the big Holly- wood Beach Hotel has been taken over by the Navy. Franco and Beryle are dancing at the Sheldon (formerly Franco Se Christine, she formerly be- inging (he Di>rilse of Darlo St iSenls^') and 4hey will also play the Lake Tarleton Club, Pike, N. H,. all sum- mer, which is under companion management as the Sheldon. Back on Miami Beach, Monte Proser's Beachcomber is no more: it's now an Army commissary, Ben Gaines, of the Dempsey-Vanderbilt, which, too. has gone over to the Army, still operates the adjoining Psgo-Pago Room, with a minature Boor show and Tony Mizzo's band.

Lyiii<c I'arri is the toi'cher; Jerry March, of cute personality, does ri.'^que songs. He was Jerry Morrow, when partnered with June Lyon on Chi r:*,dio stations, and has been part- nered with a male warbler when at Ira'.s. On his own, his 'rLsquc song.s' —so billed-^ai-e not clever, just smutty, and he's too eitgaging a youngster for that sort of thing. Roy Davis, ex-Three Gue.sse.s, is the singing emcee. In downtown Miami, the Frolics is a mopup. featuring Bobby Byrne's band, sans the maestro, who's now in the air corp.s. stationed at San Antonio, Tox. Jack Jenny is at the helin, but the ads just bill it a.s it it's the ori{!inal Byrne combo. It's the ,*<iime una.shamod attitude as with Roy Rogers' billing. The Club Bali, nee the Esquire, has Kood cuisine along with a neat Itoor show, which is good value for the $4 average check. (All these .places advertise 'dinner $1.50,' but there is also a minimum liquor charge, and justifiably .so because of the niit). Jasephine Del Mar. sizzling warb- l«r. who came to attention with 'Chi-Chi-Castenango' in 'Meet the People." heads the show, along with Alfreds Seville, singing emcee, and a cute line of girls, billed a.s the Pol-Mar Dancers. Tony Lopez he.tds the band and Al Friedman gives out with a neat solovox. Other manife.sljitions of curiosity calibre l.s that long bar in a Home- stead (Fla.) pub, near the Home- stead Army Air Base,- which doesn't bother with setup.s: just sells pints and half-pints, plus mixers, \nd the soldiers drink it up then and there.
