Variety (Mar 1927)

48 VARIETY NIGHT CLUBS Wednesday, March 16, 1927 Clean-Up Campaign May Start on Dance Halls An inside tip has it thitt another vice crusade nRainst the dance halls is being planned by the city fathers. Some of the allegedly best regulated places are degenerating according to complaint because of their harboring of "sheiks." under- world characters and other ques- tionable persons. The morality phase, an offshoot of the dirt show complaints, attacks the many costume balls staged at various times throughout the metropolis. These attract our sex bunch parading in female costume. A vicious variation on this are the colored dance halls similarly staging costume' balls. BED HATERS SADDENED Hotsy Totsy, New Orleans, Knocked Off by Rum Smeller. Anderson and Burt are spending a year's vacation on their farm, Burthaven on the Monsweag. near Wiscasset, Me. Xew Orleans, March IE. The Ilotsy Totsy cabaret, long a popular local rendesvous of the pro- fession, has been raided by prohibi- tion agents. The dry officers lo- cated the "Hotsy's" liquor room, finding quantities of whisky, cham- pagne, ojen, absinthe and beer. A search of Its famous bar found only "soft" beverages. The Hotsy Totsy had graduated from an upstairs sawdust place to night club pretensions. An odd fea- ture was its lure for other cabaret workers, who always "made" the place about 4:30 a. m. and remained until daybreak. It was then they vied for the spotlight from within the fold. It was then all the "scandal" of local night life came to light, and It was then the "Hotsy" held real color for the Initiated. Its passing will be sadly mourned by this city's bed-haters.
