Variety (Jul 1926)

Wednesday, July 21, 1926 CABARETS VARIETY 47 RAM AGAIN A.CCRYING Everything OflF — Cafes Dead or Dying Atlantic City, July 20. For the steenth Sunday this sea- son It poured. Concessioniares are literally panic stricken. This past Sabbath an electrical Btorm broke up one of the greatest crowds ever at this resort. Those -whose investments are at stake really ^ept. At least one conces- sionaire cried, and unashamedly. Sven the class A hotels are away off. Night life is deader than King Tut. Texas Guinan, recruited again to give the Silver Slipper a break over the week-end, had the terrific storm to contend with, and the cowgirl from 56th street played to one-third a house, the loss, of course, being taken by "Enoch" Johnson, owner of the place, Texas taking away one grand. A concrete example of how tough the night club racket is here is best exemplified by the failure to get over of Francis Renault's cabaret on Pacific avenue. The cabaret since its inception a month ago hasn't attracted a half a house. Last night the sherifC- carted away the wall decorations, which consisted of several costly appear- ing rugs. Renault will tell you he has pawned his Jewels to pay off the girls, one of whom was let out last night to shave expense. The Glorias, dancers and second feature, quit after a fistic encounter with Edgar Dudley. The latter took the short end of the argument and had his blackjack taken from him by Gloria, who, although anemic ap- pearing, is * wiry youth. Dudley is best known about Broadway for his theatrical ventures and his en- listment in the prohibition depart- ment. He may* return to badge- wearing, they say. Other Piaoes. Paradise Is getting a fair play, but not what it is accustomed to. Gateway, new cafe at Somers point, 10 miles from here, features Leroy Smith's Hot Syncopators. The place is attracting business and is the best-looking cabaret thiti side of 42d street. Rosebud Morse, formerly at the B5th Street Club, New York, is out of the Gus Edwards' "Ritz-Carlton Nights' Revue," as will be a few lluters in the band, to clip ex- penses. The revue doesn't give a Monday eve performance. Friedland's * Biz. Best Perhaps the best busintrfs is be Roadhoose Check Gyp An old racket but not tried for quite a while is being re- newed at the roadhousea. It's the "careless" aadition of checks. The waiter Is responsible for the overaddition, but he al- ways pusses the buck to the checker in the kitchen, mak- ing it look like a "frame" be- tween the waiter and the checker or waiter Jind captain, as most often happens. The captain is supposed to add the totals, but as a rule initials his O. K. in the stress of the moment without bothering to corroborate the mathematics. A $19.80 check at a read- house the past week-end was submitted at $28.40, the host for the first time adding the total on a "hunch." The party sensed an advan- tage prospect, hence the ad- dition and the discovery of the overcharge, which ordinarily would be paid with but a glance at the total. cialty the other clicks are by Ruby Stevens and May Clarke (the lat- ter a dead ringer for Marilyn Mil- ler, whom she adroitly Imper.son- ates). Talk here last nl^ht about "Nucky" Johnson wishing to dis- pose of his Silver Slipper. James Lapenna, producer of "Sweetheart Time," may buy. The Embassy, on the Boardwalk, a few steps from the Rltz, is not complaining. George Hale holds the show. Martin's, featuring Evelyn Xesbit and Thelma Carleton, is not knock- ing them dead either. The Folles Bergere, with Jimmy Carr's band, has sliced wages to keep open. No squawks. One may appreciate another rea- son why Mr. and Mrs. General Public are not spending. The Rltz Cafe Terla, underneath the Board- walk, retails hot dogs at 25 cents a throw and a half of honeydew melon for 90 cents. One place is retailing a Lily cup of water for a nickel. Head Waiter Accused of Theft of Pin on Roof Accused of the theft of a diamond bar pin valued at $300 from Violet Currie, 50a Locust avenue, Tonkers, N. Y.,. while a guest on the roof garden of the Hotel Ala- mac, Frank Jordans, 36, head wait- er, 200 West 88th street, was held on a grand larceny charge. After^ Mrs. Currie missed her pin she notified the hotel management. An Investigation was started. All of the waiters were Interrogated. S^usplclon centered on Jordans. De- tective Tom Horan, West 68th in don b Anatole Friedland atl^^****^^^ station, was notified. With „ A * TT * *w,rTthe house detective he searched the Beaux Arts. He presents the nudest of the local attractions, all of the girls displaying plenty of un- draped cuticle, particularly Mary Higglns (formerly Mrs. Dave Seed), who does the nudes.
