Punching the Clock. Biggest and newest of the nightspots is the Mikado, in Tokyo's swank Akasaka District. Run by a Korean "cabaret king" named Yoshiaki Konami, 54, the Mikado boasts an electric eye to open the door, a "dancing" West German water fountain, 1,250 hostesses in evening dress or kimono, and 30 Japanese Rockettes who bump and grind through Papa Don't Preach to Me in top hat and tails. Bare-breasted "Arabian" beauties alternate onstage with lion-maned Kabuki dancers. There is an exclusive downstairs party suite with 120 of Tokyo's most luscious...
Erhard has used the phrase before. For weeks before the September election, he lectured campaign audiences on it, giving cabaret performers a field day for jokes about the "chloroformed" and "uniformed" society. Others unkindly compared it to the Nazis' Volks-gemeinschaft (people's community), or to the treacly togetherness of Moral Re-Armament. Ludwig Erhard had something quite different in mind, and he spelled it out a bit more fully in last week's two-hour inaugural address to the newly elected Bundestag. The new society, said he, "is not created by one action, but unfolds through...
Clara Bow never found the limelight again. Her comeback efforts-two pictures, a Hollywood cabaret called, embarrassingly, It-all flickered feebly and failed. She retired to live with her husband, Cowboy Actor Rex Bell (later Lieutenant Governor of Nevada), on Bell's 350,000-acre ranch near Searchlight, Nev., and raised their two sons in complete obscurity. She took the fever of the '20s with her. Throughout the next three decades she was in and out of sanatoriums, continually racked with insomnia, often unable to speak coherently or recognize old friends. Every Christmas she wrote to Louella Parsons...
...three demobbed British soldiers sit drinking in a handsome Arab cabaret in Palestine. Exposition is almost unnecessary for such an archetypal trio: Leo, the young leader (John Richardson); Major Holly, the older officer (Peter Gushing) who used to be a college professor; and Job, their comic but loyal batman (Bernard Cribbins) in a gentleman's gentleman's derby and a lower-class accent. In almost no time at all, Leo has been abducted by ruffians with gold medals bearing his profile and dragged before the blonde and beautiful Ursula Andress...
Appropriately, he dubbed it High Camp. Nestled on a plateau just under 8,960-ft. Squaw Peak, the cabaret commands a heady view of the still snow-blotched peak above and Lake Tahoe below. Just getting there is half the fun. On the valley floor, couples are guided into four-seater gondolas by an attendant. After skimming through a notch in a granite cliff and floating over forests of white pine and ponderosa, they bump to a stop amidst the sound of music echoing about the uppermost peaks...
