IMIG This week’s stereopticon lec- ture, with slides (and skids), by Jefferson Machamer, will be the Ross-Fenton Club. ... As you will notice, the pictures are a little hazy, as the annual Dutch Treat show occurred on the same night we visited Sophie Tucker’s. . . For some strange reason the head waiter didn’t know who we were and gave us a table right behind Sophie! .. . From this point of view we would say that the Club has a good background and that the decorations consisted of gold organdie, with diamond trimmings and a mole on the left shoulder blade. ... Ben Bernie was also there in fine fettle, what- ever that is, but he disappointed us terribly by refusing to play “Valencia.” . Taking it all in all we can’t hand this here now club very much, and would sug- gest that, if you like Sophie JUDGE Tucker and Ben Bernie, you go to the Roosevelt for dinner and Gay Paree afterwards and see them both . .. and you'll see just about the same crowd, too! fh Speaking of night clubs, we wish some kind benefactor would let us open one as we've got some great ideas on the subject... . It would look very much like the automat and would be run on the cafeteria plan, thus eliminating all waiters and head waiters, not to mention ladies selling cigahs and cigarettes and bobbed hair bandits with dolls and pistachio nuts.... All these things could be obtained by putting nickels in the proper slots. ... If possible we would have George Olsen’s orchestra and would guarantee absolutely that there would be no show or revue of any kind... . This leaves the door wide open for some farsighted night club proprietor. a, a “Tom” from Alabama says that my recipe for a Mint Julip in “‘Here’s How!” is terrible and sends in one that has been handed down in his family from hand to mouth since 1862... . ‘For each person, take a half tumbler of high grade Bourbon whiskey. . . . Into this drop three fresh sprigs of mint... . The mint leaves must first be gently bruised be- tween the thumb and the fore- finger... . Next a teaspoonful of granulated sugar in a separate small glass with just enough water to make a thick syrup... . [NMA T= Fill another tumbler to the brim with cracked ice... . Pour the sugar syrup slowly over the cracked ice. ... Then add the whiskey. ... Pour this into an- other empty glass and then back into first glass until frost appears on the sides. Take the sprigs of mint and place one at the right and one at the left... . Straws? Never! Just dip right in!” Tom, we thank you! —p>— Recipes for applejack are com- ing in thick and fast... . It cer- tainly does my old heart good to see how the High Hats stick to- gether.... This one from Frank Motherwell is called “The Phila- delphia Scotchman.” . .. 11% hookers of “jack,” 1 hooker of port, 14 orange juice . . . add ice and ginger ale... . Here’s an- other one .. . from L. D. R. of ins. 4 hookers of jack,’ 3 lemons, 4 oranges and a hooker of maple syrup... . This ought to keep the apple- jackers quiet for a couple of week ends, anyway! comicbooks.com
