Clarke Roi Into New York aunday on the "Carmanla," fortified ^tb an agent's Ifceniie Issued by lk« Lon^pn .^puntry Counclh It Authorizes him to l^ook acts and lAlent into»I>oi}Ldon direct. Clarke Is American representative for the PiccadHly restaurant and iClt-Cat Club, London, his under- fltanding with the latter being that In the event he (Clarke) cannot de- liver any attraction demanded abroad, the Kit-Cat can purchase it through anyone they desire. Clarke's duties up to July 1 were In the nature of a salaried advisory eounsel, stationed in the United States to scout for attractions suit-^ Able abroad. Clarke has been working through the William Morris agency in the past and will co-operate with the Morris agency in the future, al- though the Foster Agency'if (Lon- don) connections with the Kit-Cat and the PicoadiUy in London have been severed. Abeut Bernio Clarke states that American bands are a drug in London. They do not want them, and have been greatly over-priced in the past. An indication of this is the Ben Bernie labor permit refusal although the Foreign Labor Offlqe merely s^nt through a formal notification with- out any specific whyfore of the re- XuKal. American artists are always Wel- comed an^ labor permits ure Issued -without difficulty Clarke says. Chinks iii Cleveland Cleveland, Aug. 3.

No More Liquor "When Bennle Piermont re- opens his Yacht Club about Labor Day. there will be no liquor available. Piermont was padlocked last spring aa , a result of an act of courtesy. He had not been out of his place for over 150 nights, but went out to the opening of Club Anatole. That evening one of his waiters served a pint of Scotch to a revenue stool- pigeon, and on thaf count the clamps went on. The original Yacht Club Boys, made in the place, will not be back, having raised 4helr price too high since. Cafe Chicago, Aug. 3.* I'he explosion of a black powder bomb believed to have been thrown at the Frolics cafe by some one. from an elevated train threw sev- ei'al women patrons of the place into a panic.

They have some original ges- tures that click. Jerry Derr is a dandy Juvenile, going over in son^ and eccentric stepping. For the necessary girlie charm Pauline Gaskins. Nita Johns. Alyce McLaughlin and Naomi Smith were okay. Miss Gaskins put over one of those "baby" songs neatly. Her Balaban & Katz training is visible. The 16 chorus girls are a' B. & R bargain. Shapely limbs and things galore, and, happy to say. they work in unison. These gals have a lot to say about this show's success. The best of their numbers is the hula .iffair. ltd by Mis.s VirKez arid ex- ecuted lo ti)in-tom accompaniment (JirlH costutiud prettily in all num- bers.

Restaurant's Radio Music Under Headingr of Orch. . That radio music in a restaurant falls within the category of a caba- ret or • dance orchestra is a New York Supreme Ceurt ruling in the suit of Columbus Spa, Inc., which operates the restaurant of that name on 59th street and Columbus Circle, New York, against the Star Co., Hearst subsidiary owning the prop- erty. Hearst would evict the res- taurant because of the loud speal««r raidlo receiver. The restaurant contended that radio did; not constitute the actual employment of dance , music but is held in a ruling that "the provision n the lease relating to vocal or nstrumental music was Inserted for the purpose of preventing musical sounds from emanating from the eased premises by prohibiting the i>Iaintiff's assignee from conducting or permitting to be conducted Any vocal or instrumental music of any kind in or about the premises rented, and the use by plalntift of a radio in the premises falls within this prohibition." It is a ruling and a test caae of no small general interest. Musician MUSIC CURE! Miracle Claims Paralysis for Los Angeles, Aug. 3.

When the orchestra begacn re- hearsals early this year the Ma- sonic Club .sent a wheel chair and automobile to his home each morn- ing to convey him to tlve bowl. He attended the rehearsals, which were held in the open air, and also some of the evening concerts. Between the sun and the music Lepske claims that he is gradually becoming cured of his illness and is able to play his violin a little more each day.
