...down on the Moulin Rouge and the Royal Concert.* There was no objection until word was passed that two rival establishments, the Apollo and Pompeii, were undisturbed. Managers, customers, girls and waiters went out to battle. Beer bottles crashed through the windows. Heavy saucers hummed through the air. An Andalusian blonde was felled by one on her ear. One of the attacking Amazons had her hip gashed by a seltzer bottle...

Guild subscription members flocked to see, recalling that it was the first Garrick Gaieties (1925) which uncovered Composer Richard Rodgers and Lyricist Lorenz Hart ("Manhattan," "Sentimental Me," "April Fool"), Funnymen Romney Brent and Sterling Holloway...
