Snooty, half filled with celebrities, half with celebrity-chasers, offering Lucullan food but not even the twang of a guitar, is Jack & Charlie's legendary "21." After midnight, debs, young Roosevelts, Beatrice Lillie, Tallulah Bankhead, lesser fry, haunt Sherman Billingsley's cool, decorative Stork Club.
