The Cocoanut Grove opened Tues day night with a special built heat wave—a yip, a stomp, the way down under hoofing of one of the hottest floor shows seen in town since the Cotton Club closed it doors and went tne wuy oi an flash.

C. G. chimp, will cele- j brate joining up with the back-to- j nature movement by smoking Turkish | cigarettes. For years playful cus- j tomers have attempted to persuade Josie to smoke. No luck. The solemn monkey invariably stamped the j cheroot on the ground and walked [ haughtily away. Last week somebody i I offered her a Turkish brand.
