LOBSTER Rinint-Ifl
Russian Tea Room is what it
has been cracked up to be ... Very
elegant and very expensive ...
Tourists and affluent New York-
ers enjoy its ambiance, service
and food ...But, continental would
be more the kind of fare it serves,
although some Russian dishes,
like hot borscht, are big favorites
... However, if somebody want-
ed an omelet or bagels and lox
they can get that, too.
MARK RIDLEY admits it's a
takeoff on a Palace suite or box
at the Silverdome, but the novel
idea at his Comedy Castle in Roy-
al Oak is getting a lot of attention
... A company can buy a four-top
table of their choice for a year at
$1,250 per person ... Plus this,
he'll give an additional 200 pass-
es for two ... and a backstage au-
tograph and photo session with
his headliner.
Mark is personally handling
all accounts himself (542-9900)
... "And if you order before mid-
night, we'll even throw in this set
of Japanese knives that can cut
through steel, then perfectly slice
this juicy tomato. Sorry, wrong
ad."

riod and downtown Detroit em-

HENNY YOUNGMAN re-
turns to the local scene with his
fiddle and one-liners, Nov. 12, 13
and 14, at Jack's Waterfront
Restaurant on E. Jefferson in St.
Clair Shores.
While here years back, Henny
would sometimes stay with his
uncle, Max Chetkin, who used to
say that his nephew had mel-
lowed with age.
But like any fine bottle of
champagne, he exploded if you
tipped him the wrong way ... We
never wanted to be the butt when
Henny blew his cork.
"Where you from?" Henny
asked a would-be heckler one
time at the Roostertail ... "Tay-
lor," was the reply ... "Well," said
Henny, "there's a bus leaving, get
under it" ... To one group of an-
noyers, he ripped, "Don't move, I
want to forget you just the way
you are."
To another he knifed, "Some
people bring happiness wherev-
er they go; you bring it whenev-
er you go" ... To a pest, "There's a
pair of shoes with three heels in
them."
Henny loved to make his wife
a Youngman accident victim ...
"My wife," he crooned, "has a
slight impediment in her speech.
Every once in a while she stops
to breathe" ... "My wife," he said,
"has her hair cut in a pet shop"
... "Her hair color is changed so
often she has a convertible top"
... "And when she goes to bed she
packs so much mud on her face,
I say, 'Goodnight, swamp."'
Henny says he stayed in one
hotel where the room was so
small the mice were hunch-
backed ... "I had a room and
bath," he bragged, "but they were
on separate floors."
Henny Youngman is a legend
... You'll want to see him at Jack's
Waterfront Restaurant ... Call
