The time for having the hurt
laugh probably never arrives in
night club circles. The man who is
so wrong tonight while you are so
i right may easily reverse things to
’ morrow night. There is a man
; around here, however who ought
! to be permitted to raise his eye
brows and snicker in the direction
of those who laughed first.
He is Sam Schanker, the man
who thought it would be agood idea
to open the Club Cairo last fall.
At the time, there were others who
did not think too highly of the
idea Mr. Schanker had. The party
was over, they said, shaking their
heads. Washington was no place
to open a night club. Better Mr. S.
should have stuck -to his super
markets. Why, he wouldn’t last
until Thanksgiving.
The Club Cairo served a tasty
Thanksgiving dinner to a number
of customers, but the chorus around
town was not stilled. The Cairo
was through now, the knowing ones
said. The pre-Christmas slump
would hit the Cairo right in the
teeth and it would never greet the
new year. Well, it might greet the
new year just to get the New Year
eve business, but it would not last
long after that. After the Cairo, j
along with every one else, entered j
1947, not a week passed without its ■
_iv. tnr ■
as of the next day.
Then Harry Anger, who had been
producing the Cairo’s first-rate
shows, was advised by his doctor to
take it easy and cut his activities
down to one full-timi job. Mr An
ger chose theatrical agency work in
New York and the rumor chorus
swelled. This is the end, the wise
ones said. Schanker’s through.
Somehow this word that the Cairo
was done for never got to Mr.
Schanker. He Just kept rfrht on
operating the place.
Patsy Kelly and Barry Wood were
the Cairo’s attractions about the
time of Mr. Anger’s departure and
Mr. S. learned a fast lesson about
show business. Entertainers in the
“name” class attract customers. Sam
would prefer “big names” entertain
ers nobody ever heard of yet, be
cause their salaries are lower, but
their box-office draw also is lower,
he has discovered.
Having learned his lesson and
never having believed any of the
rumors that the Club Cairo was due
to close the following day, Mr.
Schanker is making plans for the
season to come. In a few weeks
the dub will close for the summer.
Before it reopens in the autumn, its
boss says, it will be considerably en
larged by the addition of a balcony
facing the dance floor-stage. Star
of the first fall show will be a "big
name” entertainer a number of
people have heard of—Ted Lewis.
And Sophie Tucker probably will
be along not too much later.

Among those who welcomed day
light saving time Sunday was Michel
the violinist-proprietor of Michel's.
Michel and his gypsy ensemble have
a half-hour radio session on WQQW
every Sunday evening. Recently
they moved it from 5 to 6 p.m. to
avoid competition with the NBC
Symphony. Then fast time came
to New York and NBC moved Jack
Benny into competition with Michel
and the gypsy ensemble. Moving

Benny back where he belongs and
made Michel a happy man again. As
happy, that is, as a violinist can be
when he remembers that the Bu

consider his music entertainment
unless some one announces the titles
of the numbers he plays..

The Midnight Merry-Go-Round:
Hal Haig, who used to be an Olym
pic swimming and diving champ, is
the headliner of tonight’s new show
at the Casino Royal. His reper
toire, according to an advance re
port we have received, “consists of
superb bit of ‘mugging,’ ‘athletic
clowning,’ ‘magic’—in fact, you name
it—Hal does it!” This obviously is
your chance; go up there and name
something. . . . The spotlight,
after hours haunt, is moving its
opening hour up to 10 pm. next
Friday night. The same night the
Slam Stewart Trio arrrives to open
an engagement there. . . . Joyce
Aimee, the singer - accordionist,
winds up her stay at the Club Cairo
Thursday night. For all we know,
she may be going back to New York
to raid Tin Pan Alley, and throw
bombs at all the song writers. She
was complaining the other night
about the music of the day. “All
these new songs sound alike,” she
said. “I start to play one and before
I know it I find myself playing
something else.”

You can help this pitiful child whose young eyes
* *.
have grown old with the sight of suffering. Food
and shelter must he provided . *. clothes must he
purchased... playthings must he furnished for the
# first time in his unhappy life. He must have medi
cal attention. Above all, it is urgent to give him
loving care so that he may forget the past and de
velop a normal, happy childhood. And he is just
one of 170,000 children left alive of all the Jewish
children in Europe. Now do you understand that
you must give all your heart dictates—
“Soft is the heart of a child:
Do not harden it, -
A CHILD
"Bitter are the tears of a child:
Sweeten them.
Deep are the thoughts of a child:
Quiet them.
Sharp is the grief of a child:
Take it from him.

Soft is the heart of a child:
Do not harden ft.”
