46 VARIETY CABARETS Wednesday, March 24. 1926 STICK-UP QUINTET TAKE REUBEN'S FOR $6,000 A few hours before the Grand Jury in General Sessions indicted four of six alleged bandits, includ- ing one woman, for almost every stick-up within the last year, five bandits entered Reuben's restaurant at 2270 Broadway and held up six employes. They left $6,000 richer and escaped pursued by a bluecoat who fired six shots at them. The bandits entered the restau- rant Just before five a. m. Most of the theatro and club crowds had quit the place. They rolled up to the door in a high-powered car. Leisurely they walked into the place. All had guns. Inside the restaurant they cor- ralled four waiters and herded them where they couldn't summon help. Next they covered Frank Szabadl and Herbert Krakauer. The thugs directed the latter two to open the safe and be quick. They did. The safe yielded $5,500 in cash. There was also a platinum watch valued at $500 near the currency. This was also taken. All the time not a person entered to have* a bite. When the safe was "cleaned" the bandits left quietly. They 'entered their car. The motor was running with a thug at the wheel. As they started to race away the victims yelled for the cops. A patrolman attached to West 68th street heard the shouts. He boarded 'a cab and gave chase after the fugitive car that raced north on Broadway to 86th and then disappeared through Central park. The detectives of West 68th street have only the vaguest clue of the men. Inspector Coughlln and other polico officials believed that they nad ended the bandit wave in the recent arrest of nix men, four who have been indicted, including a "gun MolL" A few hours after the Reuben job the Grand Jury handed down the Indictments against the four. There booty it is said will reach almost a million dollars. Gallant Forgot Lease; May Have to Pay Plenty Prohibition and a padlock are likely to cost Barney Gallant a large amount for rent on his former Club Gallant, Inc., which he oper- ated at 40 Washington Square south with entrance via 48 MacDougal street, in New York's Greenwich Village. The padlock caused Bar- ney Gallant to open his new Club Barney on West 3rd street, forget- ting a 10-year lease at rentals rang- ing from $3,600 a year to $4,500 an- nually, which he had signed for at the MacDougal street night chib. Vincent C. Pcpe this week took Judgment for $1,000.02, for three months' rent, with likelihood new suits for the rcmalner of the lease will be started. Plaptation Sold The Salvlns have disposed of their interest in The Plantation in the Shuberts* Winter Garden build- ing, where Florence Mills heads an all-colored revue. The Plantation was reopened by the Salvlns under favorable terms It Is said. The rent to the Shu- berts was a percentage of the gross receipts while Lew Leslie produced the colored show under a per- centage arrangement of the cover charges. Business at the Plantation like nearly all of the night clubs of late has been reported decidedly off. DIDN'T FIT IN CABARET Cannes, March 12.

A hot battle) In City Council may spell the doom of the Venice Sun- day dancing question which comes up for voting on April SO. Council- man Randall succeeded In Inter- polating the words "and all night dancing" Into the proposition which may defeat the MIL An effort on zatlons will be booked, handled the part of other councllmen to de- through National Attractions, Inc. (Icte the wording was unsuccessful. SACRAMENTAL WINES CANNOT BE SEIZED Washington, March 23. Tha decision of Police Judge Sohuldt that tha 100 quarts of sacra, mental wine taken from a local Jew* lab church belonged to the congre- gation and hence could not be seized la looked upon here an a far-reach- ing victory. One of the local prohibition agents presented himself to Elder Samuel Kaltlln, claiming that he was a Jew and that he would use the wine only for sacramental purposes. After it was delivered the agent arreeted Kaltlln. Where Are the 'Spenders? Night club and road house proprietors admit the "spender" Is passing. Patrons good for a heavy check nowadays are seldom seen. Time was when a check might run into the thousands with the spending covering a period of days, or might even hit one thousand in one night. But no more, say the restaurateurs. While on the reverse other cafe men claim that It's not the spend- ers themselves who create large checks—it's how they are "carried along" by the people running the restaurant. Being "carried along" and being "taken" are different. When "taken" the spender only goes so far, while when being "carried along" througa extreme attention or friendliness by the house men. the spender thoroughly enjoys himself. "Up the road" around New York this winter has been a good ex- ample of the change. There Isn't a road house between Columbus circle and Stamford that has had a check in any one night approxi- mating by itself $200. It the old days some of the road houses could close for the rest of the week after one party or so with spenders pilot- ing them had called. Downtown New York may be an exception here and there but not in such plentitude they can be noticed. Too many night clubs downtown may be the explanation there and too' many night clubs downtown Is the explanation for "the road." Albany Cabaret Reopens Albany, March 23. Club Petite, a cabaret at Ell Broadway, in the city's business dis- trict, which was closed for several days, has reopened with a new troupe of entertainers and new col- ored orchestra. Danny Brooks, a tenor of exceptional qualities, is the star performer. His male associate Is Pat Pansy, who specializes in southern and negro songs. The girl singers are Jean Comaz and Jimmy Denlng. The hostess is Peggy Ackerman, a chic and fascinating blonde. The cabaret Is owned and op- erated by Tommy Dyke, who re- cently returned from Miami, where also he operated a cabaret. DANCER'S BAD FALL Milan, March 10.
