THE SHOW-DOWN [[column 1]] Chattanooga’s Theatrical Facts Continued from page 6. of Miss Mary Joe Gant, made the occasion a brilliant one. Congrats, to you Nuts, I imagine you went insane to put that affair over. The matinee dance which was sponsored by the Twix Teen Club, a club which consists of beautiful young ladies, and was given at the cozy little K. P. Hall, was a tremendous success. The main attraction was the steps that were executed by the happy knee jiggling youngster, who dished out rhythm, and was assisted by the Royal Knights Ork. Little Jimmie Edward and his Rhythm Kings Orchestra, are still swinging at the Cotton Club. This sterling band will replace the Royal Knights, in the Blue Room an exclusive ofay spot, for a two week engagement. The lineup of the band is: Reed Sec. Charles Jewsome, Zeke Smith, Jimmie Edward. Brass Sec. Jimmie Lathen, Clarence Williams, James Chappel, and John Moore. Rhythm Sec., Douglas Holmes and Vernell Bolden. John Butts, vocalist and Earl Westfield, dancer. Rumor has it that the Royal Knights, will play the season at the Park, a summer sepia resort. This hand really deserves this break if they get it. Earl Hines and his orchestra finished their engagement at the Grand Terrace Cafe, in Chicago, and are to make an extended tour. Hines himself is noted as the ”Father of the ivories.” This famous aggregation is scheduled to play several southern colleges, as well as engagements on the eastern coast. Father Hines, will make his bow to the fans of recreation and amusement in Atlantic City, N. J. Mr. Fox, his manager, seems to think that Fletcher Henderson’s famous hand is good enough to keep the Terirace open this summer. The ofays of our city suffered a great loss, when The Blue Room Nite Club burned down, from a fire that as yet, has not had a determined origin. This club was the first and only nite club in the city, and since its fading into ashes, there were many sepia cooks, waiters and waitresses, placed into the parade of [[/column 1]] [[column 2]] unemployment ranks. Mr. H. J. Kelly, sepia business man about town, has given birth to a cozy little spot, named The Rendezvous Nite Club, for nite lifers. Well . . . I do know that the married men will not have to strain their eyeballs out to look for their wives. . . Nor do the married women have to wonder about their husbands. Read "The Show’Down," and get America’s scoops on sepia theatricals.

I am not selfish, but we want to reach out an gather in the group for a reunion. Lincoln Dunlap, violinist, a Colorado Springs boy, who also began as a kid with me, is away out East somewhere and Henry Campbell of Seattle who played his first job on trap’drums with me at Helper, Utah, after Walter Pride lost his mind and married while still a kid. Speaking of Walter, he has a small family of nine children and is still going strong; his home is here now. . . . Time Marches On. . . . Kenneth McVey and his boys are heard nightly over KVOD from the Tivoli Terrace Night Club while Sammy Scott's Boys hold down a downtown nightly job in a hall that the group could never before contact. George Morrison remains at the Brown Derby while several of our boys are members of the PWA Symphony Orchestra. B. D. Morgan directs a male chorus and Henry Rogers is baritone soloist. Our boys have been given outstanding places with this group, although there are but few of them. Preparedness is the only requisite necessary, prejudice is about as popular there as a cat at a dog convention, and its presence there is accorded about the same treatment that the cat would receive. Sorry to stop, but time and space are limited, all that I want to leave with the boys from the old home town is, ”Buy the Show Down if you want the low-down.“ [[box]] The Real Spot Is SPENCER’S COZY INN 3761 FINNEY AVENUE Fun for Fun Makers W.
