the impressive list of his activities includes
engineering law merchandising real estate,
brokerage politics, golf and poloan he's
been a success at all of them
Born and brought up in the small frontier
town Of MacDermitt, Nevada, about 40 years
ago he picked up his three RS in the local
grade school and began putting them to work
at the age of 10 when he became bookkoeper.
travelling salesman, clerk, sweeper-upper and
four or five other things in his fathers general
store.
The advantages Of education were SO
deeply impressed on him in this work that, as
soon as he was old enough he broke out Of
the family fold and all alone beat his way TO
st. Louis to study engineering.
odd jobs supported him till he finished
the course and then without pause he
plunged into business, sharing with a couple
of his brothers the responsibility first of a de-
partment store in Illinois and later Of a gen.
eral merchandise store in the heart of the cot
ton and tobacco belt.
But all this was just by way of preparation
for the really big work ahead In 1922, after
selling out his share Of the business he hit
san Francisco and it wasn't long before San
Francisco knew il had been hit.
A 60 at real estate having given him the
lay of the financial land he set blase Mont

opening up the first exclusively Chinese

Instead of alimony, she was to get raise

The only unpleasantness in the whole
transaction rose out Of that pesky California
community property law, according to which

off publicity by an out-of-court settlement.

Cism has been to refrain from going out on

But they have no hesitation about enter

Joining the same convivial party on Sunday
night the night week they have off.
These actions have led TO the belief in some
quarters that they will remarry Charlie, how
ever, firmly steps such rumors whenever
he runs into them The picture is nice and
simple The way it is he's the boss and his cX-
wife works for him; he doesn't want To re-
complicate it by marrying her again.
Which is not TO say that he won't ever
take another flier at marriage. He still has
that dream of a houseful of children, the only
difference being that now they have dream
mother, too.
Not only these details Of what you might
call Charles semi-private life. but also the
story of his public one show that he-along

SO he built an establishment called The
Chinese Village" in the heart of Chinatown.
and, after his neighbors had gotten over the
shock, found that his instinct had been right.
Villages when they grow fast enough soon
become cities. which is what happened to The
Chinese Village" II boomed into The For
hidden City" But cities unfortunately, have
problems that villages never dream of.
Charlie found this out when the San Fran
cisco Worlds Fair opened for business. People
began staying away from his place in droves.
In fact he began staying away himself to
find out what keeping the others.
AS he wandered morosey among the ex-
hibits of his mammoth competitor the answer
suddenly came TO him. What he needed was
some kind of strip-tease act Not just an
ordinary one. BY no means. Something really
special, in short Chinese strip-tease.
And turning his back on Sally Rands
Nude Ranch" he hurried back to The For
hidden City and rang up a girl he knew
named JOY Ching
couple of nights later Miss Joy, moving
her attractive, undraped body in the sensu-
Gus figures of a bubble dance. had Charles
still too few customers figurativey speaking
in the aisles. And il wasn't long after that
till the place was so packed you couldn't find
an aisle to get into
Charlie, the saying goes, was back in
the chips.
Once more he was a Chinese edition of
the American Dream.

didn't know about The Forbidden CITY
where East meets West with bang
Charlie built his night club by adding
shock to shock bang to bang.
Shock A was Ii Tel Ming. the owners
wife and a rarity If there ever was one
a Chinese torch singer!
Miss Ming of whom more will be said
in minute was the cornerstone of The
Forbidden City"
Then. porng over the take" Charlie
decided that new shock was needed
(shock addicts are not unlike other kinds
of addicts the dose always has 70 be in
creased).
So next appeared not only Miss Ming
but also chorus line of beautiful Chinese
girls - the first all-Chincse chorus in his
tory and, to put it mildly. WOW
In China itself it only compare
lively recently that women were allowed
to appear in public spectacles at all and
/ when they did they had TO act with the
greatest dignity and decorum.
Which distinguished them from Charles
chorus These girls didn't hide their oomph
under bushel and they accounted for
another big boom in the business - fol-
lowed in due time by another slump.
Something really terrific was needed
now. and once more resourceful Charlie
turned up with the goods in the person OF
Joy Ching. a lovely Chinese gal who didn't
mind in the least doing a Sally Rand - with
or without bubbles
She too was an historical first.
Feeling like the farmer who. on seeing
a giraffe for the first time remarked There
amt no such animal" the customers just
sat and stared.
lot of them still feel this way about
Miss Ching but some of the native Chinese
aren't sure but that Charlie has done the
impossible by topping her with still another
shock.
The sight that makes them wonder seems
comparatively tame 10 a Western eye; it's
that OF Charlie himself and Ii Tel Ming, his
torch singer, hobnobbing at the microphone
or one Of the tables.
And the reason Eastern eyes google al
this sight is that she isn't his wife any more
She's now his ex-wife.
Divorce is not uncommon In conservative
Chinese circles, but the peculiar modern, OF
friendly type is.
Most Chinese have the old-fashioned idea
that when a husband and wife split up they
ought to split up.
Although neither is by any stretch of tho
Imagination old-fashioncd Charlie and Miss
Ming might have felt that way, too - In
different circumstances
As il was the cost of being conventional
would have been, for him, the loss Of first
class torch singer for her. of a frst-class

these friendly Hollywood divorces. Why
should ruin my business just because Ii TIE

The brass-tack thinking evident in these
remarks is typical Of Charlie Low. It's beer
a major asset throughout his Horato Algel
career. and IL characterized his relations will

for there the usual heiro-

Real estate, a little in
cidental insurance and bro
kerage might have seemed
plenty of business to some
men, but Charlie found
that he still had q few min
utes of the day to fritter
away, so he beg an to
study law.
The results of this new
pastime we're as gratifying
as those of his others. On
behalf of a Chinese firm,
he was called on to handle
one of the largest civil cases
in California history, and,
after a long struggle,
won it.
Moreover, legal training
enabled him TO carry to the
Legislature his peoples

And then, suddenly WHIP

the 1929 stock market crash
gave a new direction to his
life. AS he watched his fell
low sufferers tearing their
hair and leaping out of win
dows, it occurred to Charlie
that the man who built a
better bar, where survivors
could weep into their beer,
might find the world beat
ing a path to his door.
