BOOM IN NIGHT CLUBS
BY
MARK HELLINGER

A STRANGE thing has come
to pass in the Broadway field.
Out of the depression and sew
eral sessions of theatrical medioc-
rity, a new show business has
been born. am referring to
the cabaretS.
Wherever you go, cafe ads
slap you in the kisser. mo
Cover Charge At Any Time"
"All You Can Feat For Dol
lar" If things go much longer
in this direction, man will be
able to enter a cafe, slap q
quarter on the table, eat a sir
loin steak, drink a bottle OF
beer, dance all night to fine
orchestra-and the cafe will
supply the girls!
Most for Least
Seriously, though, strange
things are happening in the
cabaret field. The rear tables
and sometimes, the front
ones-are occupied by the boys
and girls who once patronized
the balconies in the theaters.
Everything today is a question
of getting the most for the
least money. And the cafes
have been winning the argu-
ment.
do not refer here to the
small establishments on Broad
way. Such places will spring
up and fall away as long as
Broadway has a single light
left upon it. No, I talk now
of institutions such as the
Paradise, the Hollywood, and
a spot like the Cotton Club,
in Harlem.
These places cost fortunes
to own and operate. The Cot
ton Club revue is as fine a
piece of musical entertainment
as you will ever see on any
stage in any theater. The
Hollywood goes in for such ex-
pensive and crowd-enticing acts
as Ted Lewis and his band.
The Paradise, built last winter
at a staggering cost and now
the cafe showplace Of New
York, features the ever-popular
Nils Granlund and more beau
tiful girls than Samuel Gold
Wyn ever gaZed upon,
But what is the result? I
am willing to wager that these
three places took in more
money last week than any
five shows on Broadway put
together.
Then, too, it might be well
to remember that these cafes
draw larger crowds than the
average theatrical production
on Broadway. The other night,
for example, went across the
river to Ben Marden's Riviera
and found some 1,400 people
dining and dancing in the
various rooms. It's been a
long time since any legitimate
house on Broadway saw 1,400
people at one time.
Costly Venture
This Riviera, by the way, is
a most remarkable establish
ment. A landmark across the
Hudson for many years, it was
taken over by Ben Marden
some IL months ago and COM
pletely rebuilt. I'd like to bet
that the spot has cost Marden
and his associates a quarter
of a million dollars to date.

Five months at the Royale
Theater in New York as a stage
play is the enviable record of
when Ladies Meet" most recent
success from the pen of Rachel
CrotherS, which has been trans
ferred to the screen by CoSmo-
politan and which comes June 8
to the Palace Theater. The stage
cast was notable one but the
cast of the picture, which is
destined to be one of the out
standing hits of the current sea-
son, is even more impressive, for
it is headed by Ann Harding,
Alice Brady, and Robert Mont
gomery, each a star in his or
her own right.
This is the first talking picture
role for Miss Brady, distinguished
New York stage star, and it also
marks the first time Robert
Montgomery and Ann Harding
have played together. Myrna
10y, Frank Morgan and Louis
Alberni assist in making the cast
of when Ladies Meet" one of
the strongest of the year, with
Ann Harding doing what is
probably the greatest work Of
her career.
The story of a wife who seeks
to retain her husbands affection,
and his interest in girl novelist
whose books he is publishing,
when Ladies Meet mounts to
an exciting climax when the
publishers wife and the novelist
meet at a country weekend
party.

across to one of the authors

HOLLYWOOD, Cal, June g.
In an unexpected move, Universal
has failed to exercise the option
of Boris Karloff, whose feat of
makeup in "FrankenStein," THE
Mummy" and other horror films
have pointed to him as the logical
successor to the late Lon CLANCY.
The release of Karloff makes
Universal lose three major play
ers within a few weeks. Tala
Birell and Lew Ayres were the
other two.
Since the salaries of all these
players would have taken a jump
with their next option, the move
has obvious advantages in eco
nomy. Aside from that, studio Of
ficials claim that the Laemmle
Company now can concentrate on
stories, casting them with the
best available talent, instead of
buying material to fit a group of
expensive stars.
Universal now finds itself with
only slim list of contract play
ers. Margaret Sullivan, June
Knight, Paul Lukas, Andy Devine,
OnsloW Stevens, Tom Brown,
Vince Barnett, Gloria Stuart, Slim
Summerville, Zasu Pitts and
Ken Maynard about name them,
First result of Karloff's loss
will be a search for an actor to
take the title role in H. G. Wells
