BrOadway's Only Woman Night Club Owner Since Texas Guinan Is a Grandmother
nY gAAaRR TMRARERR

NEA Service Be9M Correspondent
 New Yofke--At the age of se, Louise Reid possesses two uns common distinctions. Listed enron. Oiogicaily, they are: orc New York night club and one granddaughter.
 The night club is the Monte Carlo (the one on 18th street, not Fefe's on 65th), which she bought seven months ago; the grands daughter is Patsy Ann gager, who's 6 weeks old. Both are do. ing nicely, thank you.

But Broadway hasn't seen 2 woman owner-operator of e night spot since the days of the late Texas ouinan and the late Great Ex- pertinent Mrs. Reid thinks that it's purely coincidental that she, like Miss Guinan, iS . Texan. And sine will have none Of the rein carnation of Texas duinan" tag that one eager publicist tried to hang on her. The famous duinan gretting Of Hello, SuckerI" is not for her.
 If anybody is c "Sucker" around the Monte Carlo, it's the proprie- tor herself. She Is what the boys in the neighborhood Of her estab- iishment call a soft touch. Both cred by tender heart definitely not an occupational disease or Broadway she suffers from an inability to say No" to c hard luck story.
 When she first took over the Monte Carlo sine hired almost all entertainers who came around, just becauDe sine was sorry for them. And once, when she dis- covered an employe stealing from her, it was all She could do to get Up nerve enough to fire him.
 Today, although she's learned to be a little more firm, she still runs her night club by the same code of Texan ethics that she brought with her to the job.
 "sincerity and honor" says Mrs. Reid, "are the marks of Texan. His word is his bond and that's the way l do business. When l bought this place my friends ali told me, But this is Broadway, LouLse, not Texas ] told them l thought q little TeXaS would do lot Of good on Broad- way"
 Apparently t has. The Monte Carlo, which was at the bottom of q slump when she bought 1t, is making money under Mrs. Reid's direction. She does her share of the work, too orders the food, books parties, hires entertainers, stages the floor shows, and tries to greet ali her customers at the door.
 Mrs. Reid, who Is built along generous Lillian Russell lines, wasn't exactly q stranger to night clubs when she became a proprietor. She used to sing-firGt in Sunday School, where she taught class when she was fl, later in clubs in Texas and through the south.
 Seven years ago, having a small income from her savings, she quit work and came to New York with her son, Bill. Bill had q singing voice, too, and t was mainly for him that sine bought the Monte
