New York, Nov. 27-The Town in

the after-dark places during the last
fortnight than at any time in a flock
of moons There are, of course, ex-
captions: The International Casino is

Leon and Eddie's draws the late
crowd en- masse -. But some of the
jernts have languished deplorably 80.
The Ritz Crystal Gardens, which Jack
Gould described as "a Cecil DeMille
bathtub without any water in it" has
played to sparse crowds; but last week
was beginning to pick up patronage
and Saturday night was crowded 49,.
No one can explain these ups and

have little to do either with the quail
ity of the entertainment provided or
even with the price per bottle of the
sparkling water served -. Just whims
