The Waterbury Democrat., 1935-01-23
By PAUL HARRISON

Miami, F'la.,-This is Manhat- an--with palms. New York people, New York night clubs, New York newspapers, conversation, manners and, suspect, New York taxi driv- CTS.
 Fiagler street is Miamrs Broad way: North Miami Avenue it's Bowery. There's q Harlem, too. Brickell Avenue is the local Park Avenue, and Gotham's Fifth Ave- nus stores all seem to have branches on Lincoln Road in Mi- ami Beach. Extra smart and ex- pensive, with bars in them. The sporting crowd from Broadway's the McAllister Hotel, with etcr- and jockeys and past perform ances. There's no geographical coun- terpart, however, for Manhattan's gay Fifties. The Broadway night rounds can be made afoot, but here you'd need fast car and q police escort even to reach Q half dozen places in an evening. Yes, and a road map, q complete set of navigating instruments, and q couple Of native scouts.
 Need Cabaret on Wheels You're sittin In the Forge Club. say, at Miami Beach, and somebody suggests dropping In at the Club Ha-Ha. You ask whether It's very far away, and they say. oh, no--only across the causeway and up toward Holly wood (F'la.) Only about 25 miles. You just get settled in the Ha-Ha, and omebody recalls that he promised to meet man at the Deauville, which another. 22 miles. I can't imagine why some smart promoter hasn't put a night club on wheels. He could have midget entertainers and call It the Back-and- Forth Casino, or Chez Interim.
 l Personally I am irreconcilable to such lengthy travel. there be- ing nothing in between these
 places but palm trees and vagrant bodies of water. and no good req shouldn't be lined up elbow-to elbow in some fairly accessible location.
 Baer's KO Punch
 Most of the familiar Broad way faces are to be seen herc- about. This afternoon at the races met Earl Carroll, looking as cadayerous as ever, and un- tanned. He was mostly in the company of brunette Baryl Wal lace, but there also was coterie of chorines in the offing--ail of them stunning the sun. Max Baer appeared too. and I suppose 1t ncedent be . secret that found him KO-ting a cocktail. Ohio's Governor George White posed pa- tieItly with the fighter.
