NEW YORK-Folks, some people
claim the night clubs in New YORK
aren't what they used to be, that
the thrill is gone, that the excite
ment has slowed down to walk

Texas Tommy's, and the silver
Slipper they say. Il remember
the night the police broke into the
Chez Morgan, armed with axes, ana
wrecked $4,000 worth of decora-
tons They hacked a 6o-foot bar
to pieces.

tiful Broadway butterflies with him.
He was SO close l could have
reached out and touched him. That
was a night! Boy, those were the
times. You don't see things ike
that any more.
Well. folks, that's right, in a
way. You don't see things ike

Legs" because Legs" is dead
and most of the mob is dead

others in lonely lime pitted

butterflies either, because most ol
them are dead, too. one was

Another took her own life.
third disappeared.
No. YOU don't see the hoodlums
lording it around Broadway as
YOU used to, and you don't see
wrecking crews with axes.
Open Door Policy
But you're wrong when you
think the bloom is off the bush.
We've got night clubs today-aS
manv if not more than we ever
had. Some are as ornate and law
ish in decor as their predecessors
we're. and some are just as small
and chummy and intimate. In fact,
lust to look at them you couldn't
tell the difference.
But there is this difference:
In the old days they peeped
at you through slot before
they let you in. Today, you
walk in free and easy.
Ten years ago, the sale of liq-
uor was against the law. THIS
meant legitimate business m n
couldn't operate, and SO the mob
q. was there. Today, the night CLUBS
are back in the hands of business
men.
Let's see now Let's name them.
There's the Rainbow Room, the
Diamond Horseshoe, the Stork, Ell
Morocco, Monte Carlo, Twenty One,
the Riviera. These are the big
night clubs, the show places of
New York. There are no hoodlumS
there. Maybe that's what they mean
when you say the thrill is gone.
Dollar Dynasty
There's something else, too. Ten
years ago. when you took drink
(Which never cost you less than
81 a throw you never knew
whether you suddenly would go
blind or be inspired by a craving
to see blood spilled That's what

the labels say it is.
Finally, ten years ago, when
ycu walked into night club,
somebody yelled Hello Suck
err" and he Tor she) was right
because you were. You were
being played for sap. You
paid anywhere from three to
five dollars cover charge just
for the privilege of sitting in a
chair. That didn't pay for any
thing you ate or drank.
Nobody yells Hello Sucker" al
you today.
But they're mighty likely to ask
you, along with everybody else
