...that it is not only a pool hall, an eating club, and an everyday club, but a really truly night club as well. The successful series of cabarets so far held in the Living Room terminates tonight in what promises to be the biggest whoopee of the season, for special effort has been made to obtain an unusually well known young lady for hostess.
