IF YOU EVER wanted to
see a wild, woolly, out-of-
sight scene, you should
have been at the opening of
the new Elephant Entertain-
ment Complex on Long
Lake Rd. and Livernois.
It was formerly a two-
sided operation . . . Ele-
phant Disco on one side .
Banyan Tree and then Sun-
down restaurants on the
other.
Now it is all Elephant .. .
with drinks $1.25, except for
those ordered by name .. .
1 /2 lb. ground round, fried
onion rings, french fries,
popcorn in an elephant feed-
ing pail . . . and coffee in
the big 12 oz. glasses used
to serve mixed drinks.
It's probably the only one
of its kind in the country.
One room, with its shim-
mering lights and special ef-
fects, has recorded music
. . . the other, with tree
branches over the dance
floor, lights up in quick
rhythm with the jumping
strains of the Broadway
quartet.
It was one big frenzied
night of excitement . . .
Even Queenie, the 7,000-
pound elephant that stood
outside greeting people with
friendly offerings of hay,
got into the act . . . al-
though she probably won-
dered what the heck was
going on . . . Queenie didn't
disco, but she was brought
in and did get to do some
tricks . . . After all, with so
much fun going on, she
wasn't about to be let out of
the shindiging goings-on.
Both sides were packed
. . people danced all over
the place' . . The original
Elephant Disco, with its re-
corded music, had people
dancing up a storm . . .
even a fellow who nobody
knew, dressed up in a
bunny costume . . . then its
door closed three-quarters
way, and dancing to the
live band was also a torrid
scene . . . People danced on
both sides at the same
time.
The continuous non-stop
music made for a wild set-
ting . . . but a lot of great,
fast-moving fun entertain-
ment.
With the Detroit Playboy
Club now closed, many of
the local area bunnies were
hosted at the complex . . .
introduced on stage by Dick
Purtan and Tom Ryan.
The decor and employees
of the new Elephant Enter-
tainment Complex creates
an interesting atmosphere
. . . One room has the danc-
ing lights and ingenious ef-
fects . . . while the former
restaurant area is done in
muted earth tones with ac-
cents in white, green and
silver . . . Thousands of
twinkle lights shine in the
ceiling.
The Elephant waitresses
wear platinum wigs, silver
shoes and white tube 20's
dresses with hanging
fringes.
The male employees
wear white jumpsuits with
black trim and huge multi-
colored Afro wigs . . . Their
faces are painted slightly
like witch doctors . . . The
busboys are dressed as Mex-
ican peasants with multi-
colored wigs.
There's even a caged par-
rot ... with the sign, "This
bird guaranteed to bite."
. . . He took it all in stride,
and didn't even flinch when
they brought in the live ele-
phant . . . It would have
been fun seeing him on
Queenie's back, except for
that sign . . . about being
guaranteed to bite ... One
gulp and he'd be screaming
from Queenie's stomach.
No lunches yet . . . The
cocktail side, with its re-
corded music, will be open
at four and the live sound_
side will open at eight .. .
Both are six-night oper-
ations.
If the Elephant Disco was
very New Yorkish before
. . . now it is completely out
of this world!
ONE OF THE MOST mis-
pronounced restaurants
around is L'Auberge . .
Correct pronunciation is
Low-Behrze, . . . It's where
President Gerald Ford
dined like a king during the
Michigan presidential pri-
mary campaign in May,
1976 . . . (He ate Surf 'n
Turf, lobster and filet mig-
