...Lorenz Hart was at his pithy best, and Richard Rodgers had not yet flowered into his fluffy and roseate bloom. The final issue of their union was Pal Joey, the story of a down and out entertainer, based on some stories by John O'Hara.

Unlike the Copacabana, which concentrates on headliners (Joey Bishop, Sammy Davis Jr.) and surrounds them with half a dozen pretty chorines and vegetation by Goodyear, the Latin Quarter spends its budget on quantity, on big casts, on halfway talents and halfway nudes. A fanfare brings out the girls-girls dressed in balloons, girls dressed in sequins, girls in high heels clicking along the stage rim, nearly stepping on the ring-siders' elbows. After...
