Minnie Stoys At
Cotton Club

A new type of entertainment
presented in a most delightful
atmosphere is being offered at
the Cotton Club this week.
Featuring a large cast, the show
is presented twice nightly, at
midnight and 2 a. m, with each
performance being entirely diff
ferent.
The musical comedy version of
Minnie the Moocher'S Trial"
famous Harlem ditty, is being
held over for a second week.
Drucilla Drew, as Minnie, as
sisted by Rastus Murray, play
the comedy leads in the riotious
production. The jury made up
of a chorus of eight beautiful
girls are piling up many laughs
as the show swings along in real
New York style.
Johnny Vigal and Sid Sisko in
African fantasy entitled "Tropi-
cal Moon" add plenty of zip to
the program. Vivian Baber, col
lored movie actress, is an added
attraction at the club.
The Cotton Club orchestra, di-
rected by Tommy Myles, has
earned an enviable reputation
for itself and is one of the main
reasons for the crowded dance
floor.

The Minister of Ecuador and
his charming wife are seen very
often, entertaining large parties
in the lounge. Sid Cowen is
usually called upon to sing some
of his Spanish numbers for them.
Sidney's orchestra is playing

Buddy Harmon and Sid Cowen.

dropping into the Shoreham fer
dinner and supper tete-a-tetes,
and for larger parties. The excel

easons. Other reasons: The
smooth floor, the soothing atmos-
phere of the room, the Shoreham's
famous cuisine. Egypt'S new en-
voy, Ibrahim Ratib Bey, minister
to the United States, was glimpSed
in a small party few hours after
his important big reception at
