GLAMOUR MITE
SPOT NOW OPEN
AT CLUB SAVOY

It's here and apparently, it's
here to stay - the thing that Mi
amians have longed and waited
FOR. Last week, Club Savoy, "The
House of joy, located at the cor
ner of NV Third avenue and 9th
street, proudly announced the
opening of its beautiful, well ap-
pointed deluxe Carnival Room. A
brand new luxury and a dignified
atmosphere, which greets you as
you step into its comfort and con-
veniences, is presented most eff
fectively by this dream room
Cocktails, celebrities and con-
genial people blend so well to-
gether that one gets that tropi-
cal happy, holiday feeling in its
exciting surroundings
Styled and designed by the
famed CasZar of Havana, Cuba,
the room will hold its own in
beauty with most of the top spots
at Miami Beach end other greater
Miami areas.
You are always invited to come
down and enjoy the charm and
Splendor of this exquisite Room,
which is yours at Club Savoy.
The Room is open nightly except
Tuesdays from 9 pm. to S am.
MODERATE PRICES
Another great feature of the
Carnival Room is the fact that
moderate prices prevail on bev-
erages of all description. The
management has begun a new
policy - a $500 beverage mini
mum. This minimum will be
charged at the door, but it will
cover the cost of your first
round of drinks for the evening.
Tables are always free of charge
and there is no cover or admission
charge.
