...gauge the reactions of the hotel's Broadway-wise customers, how to flash his bright smile at the right moment, how to pitch his voice for the best effect. Eddie landed wintertime jobs after that, e.g., singing during the chorus-girl numbers at Manhattan's Copacabana. But his real break came when Eddie Cantor spotted him three summers later at Grossinger's and took him on a vaudeville tour.

With Statler-style "one-room suites" costing $7.50 a day and up, the new hotel is designed for the middle-income traveler who, I.H.C. officials think, will be their biggest customer in future. As such, it is only the newest unit in Pan Am's long-range plan for increasing tourist traffic from the U.S. by supplying better hotels for travelers. I.H.C. already manages hotels in Belem, Santiago and Barranquilla, owns and operates Mexico City...
