The Elias Woolf Family Club
will entertain eleven kinfolk, all
recent returnees
from service at
a Victory Ban-
quet, Feb. 9, at
the Working-
men's Circle au-
ditorium on Lin-
wood. .. Mickey
Woolf, who has
fast been head-
ing to the top
of the list of en-
tertainers, will
i keep the guests
7---j amused with his
Mickey W oolf unlimited sup-
ply of special
numbers. . . Mickey, you know,
was recently scouted by Maurice
Golden, MGM talent scout . . but
inasmuch as the Mickeys are
three-soming (or rather Mrs.
Mickey is), the expectant daddy
decided to stand by and view the
heir to his talents.
•
An atmosphere of geniality and
informality, conveniently located
downtown opposite the Book-Cad-
illac Hotel, is the Book Bar.
There is nightly talent that keeps
everybody looking all the time, cur-
rently it's Dick Williams, the sepia
king of boogie, who's strictly on
the beam and, baby, sending solid
and can he play those ivories
groovie? Mama mia! Chick Gaines
is on the day turn now, while his
co-manager, Irving Steinberg, has
the "swing and sway" shift. Drop
in anytime, but make it 'fore 2
a.m., that's all.
•
Orchids to the Orchid Cleaners
for jobs well done. . . T /Sgt. Leo
Podden, who served with the 257th
Field Artillery, has been let out
of Uncle Sam's army in order to
do a good "clean up" job at home.
What better way than to own a
"deanery"? So he does — the
Orchid Cleaners — Linwood.
•
Still firmly entrenched as lead-
ing floor show favorites at Club
50:1 are Dick Havilland, the draw-
ly and hilarious comedy star,
fifth week; Belva White, the in-
comparable "bombshell of song
and piano," twenty-third week,
and Johnny Rullo, the singing
ex-air corps sergeant. Others hold-
ing over, by popular demand, are
The .litterbugs and The 509
Adorables. Newcomers to the pres-
ent line-up are The Four La
Vernes, apache sensations, and
The Gascas, novelty acrobats, fea-
turiirz wire-walking Leo Gases.
Lee Walters and his orchestra do
the music for (lancing and the
continuous show.

That was indeed a lovely show-
er the four Karbal sisters-in-law
(Sally, Steil, Ruth and Betty)
pave their pretty niece, June Kat .-

1 -41,

at the Book-Cadillac last
Wednesday. I'm so sorry I missed
it, Sally. Here's to loads of lovely
affairs for the rest of the "mish-
poche." •
I am very grateful to Art Lea-
zenby of the Cinema Theatre for
inviting me to a preview of what
I'm quite sure will be one of the
greatest pictures to come out of
the war period. It's M.G.M.'s
"Last Chance." Not only is it the
thrilluloid of the year, realistically
portraying the grim struggles and
hardships of peoples left loose by
Nazi brutality, but it gives one a
better sense of values of our own
existence and our own mode of liv-
ing. Human beings who do not
even speak the same tongue but
are drawn together by a common
urge to survive. It is really a stir-
ring drama-packed piece of work.
Larry Wechsler did a terrific job
of producing. He actually assem-
bled his cast from escaped pris-
oners of war, seeking shelter in
Zurich. The most interesting piece
of casting is that of Sgt. Ray
Reagen of Camden, N.J., an es-
caped German prisoner, whom
Wechsler spotted in camp. Reagan
is back in this country now and
is quite philosophical about his
movie career. "When you go in for
a forced landing, you don't know
where you'll hit, you just hope for
the best. That's how I feel about
my movie career." The fact that
several different languages are
spoken in the film makes it inter-
esting to all peoples. Watch for
the opening date. It should really
be a must.
•
I promised to tell you last week
about the U. of M. Hillel players
who appeared on the BB Business
and Professional group's banquet
at Latin Quarter. The singing
trio, Arthur Mayer, Arthur Mar-
key and Eugene Malitz (the stu-
dent cantor) was the hit of the
crew. Their "Mother Murphy's
Borsht," "Working My Way Thru
College," "Having My Hat on a
Tree That Grows in Brooklyn,"
might well be the envy of any pro-
fessional. Artie Mayer, at the pi-
ano, is quite the comedian... Har-
old Potemkin, who MC'd the show
is indeed a clever boy and has a
wealth of dialect material... Ethel
Eisenberg recited a piece about a
"Hole in a Bagel," that has me
still wondering what would really
happen without the hole. . . Things
to remember, too, were the way
Eugene Malitz and Rita Hyman
were holding hands (as if gaining
strength and confidence from the
contact) (Rita was a bit nervous
at first, weren't you, dear?) as
they sang "Ah, Sweet Mystery of
Life," and "If 1 Loved You." Yes-
sir, and as one realizes that these
clean-cut, grand kids are the lead-
ers of tomorrow's Jewry, one
thinks, "It's a good thing to have
a Hillel."

Lovely. Sylvia Rhodes, contralto,
and Pat Burke, tenor, make a fine
combination on the "pop tunes"

much favor-
able comment

.. There's Mar-
cya and Rene
Gunsett, Pari-

who step lively
in some unusu-
ally attractive
numbers. T h e
"Rag Doll" rou-
tine calls f o r
repeated en-
Burke-Rhodes cores. . . Nim-
ble balancing by
the Jansleys trio, two gals that
really do some neat tumbles and
a male partner who offers excel-
lent support. The stars of the
Latin Quarter revue are Low, Hite
and Stanley. This startling out-
size trio who range from 3 ft. 2 in.
to 7 ft. 9 in., are a riot with their
uproarious imitations of popular
records, while the Virginia Tiff-
ables do some natty routines that
round out a complete show. .
With plenty of stage presence and
showmanship, Maestro Denny
Beckner guides the show through
a neat succession of dance, song
and comedy that keeps the ham-
mers going continuously. . . Ra-
mon and his Latin Rhythms alter-
nate with the Beckner group fOr
dancing pleasure. Tommy Mont-
gomery continues to please on the
organ in the cocktail lounge.

For an evening of romantic un-
dertaking, start with a mice long
drive out Elizabeth Lake Rd. to-
ward Pontiac way to the Club
Rio... The atmosphere at the club
is conducive to comfort, relaxa-
tion and conviviality. . . Good
food, deliciously prepared, trip-
ping the light fantastic to the
danceable strains of Ernie Mitch-
ell's orchestra, lulled to a senti-
mental mood by the tunes of Hel-
en O'Lear, the vocalovely, and to
be catered, for your slightest wish,
by that very genial host, Earl
Olive. . . It's really worth the
trip, believe me.

One of the most famous eating
places in the midwest — Papa
Joe's, where you can enjoy a ver-
itable treasure chest of the finest
of Italian foods and concoctions.
Whether it's spaghetti, or chicken
cacciotora or scallappini, they are
specialties of the chef and are so
prepared.
•
Ted Lipsitz, of the ever in-
creasingly popular supper club of
the same name, is indeed proud
of the reputation he enjoys as the
operator owner of one of Detroit's
most delightful spots.. . One is
tempted to just gorge on the ex-
cellent food and cocktail concen-
trations. . . Curvacious Ethel
Howe still very adequately takes
care of the vocal chores. . . Chet
Everhart's ability as a pianist is
evidenced by the fact that when
