...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 hostesses, as well as a 16-page leatherbound wine list in which choices...

Literally down to his last nickel, he joined the fiddle section of Manhattan's Capitol Theater...

At any rate, the Baby Beatle's hair was coming in nicely, and he'd inherited the magnificent Ringo nose along with the basset-hound jowls. Now, if he can learn to ululate on key-could be.
