MONTE CRISTO CLUB TO OPEN TONIGHT

Entertainment and Favors to Be Attractions New Rendezvous Offers Floor Show and Dance Music. The Monte Cristo Ciub, night place recently built in the basement of the Fountain Square theater building, will have its formal opening tonight. The night’s activities will be rePl ete with tavors, floor show T entertainment and dance music. The proprietors, Ficd lozzo and William Slot kdale, have spared no expense in carrying out the decorations of the club in the seventeenth century motif. The acts on the opening floor show bill for the Monte Cristo Club will include Jack and Jill, two girls who present a dance novelty, with other numbers in tap and soft shoe routine. Johnny Swefa, one of the younger dance entertainers of Indianapolis and his partner, Roslyn Lubwig, will also be on the bill, giving dance duos in comic costume. Jimmy Willingham, an RKO entertainer, who got his start several years ago in the Shortridge high school junior vaudeville, will act as master of ceremonies for the show. One enters the dance hall through a "cell room,” modeled after the room in which the real Count of Monte Cristo was imprisoned. Even the drawings on the wall have been copied. The "treasure room” opens off of this "cell.” The dance hall itself has a capacity of seventy-five tables and ample dancing space. Bill Hart and his orchestra have been engaged to play for dancers and for the show’. The ceiling of the room has been covered with silk to insulate it for good sound effects, and the dance floor is built of concrete placed on springs.

Nolan Offers Own Number Director at Indiana Roof Wrote ‘Espanolita.’ Bob Nolan has added one of his own compositions to the music which his orchestra is playing at the Indiana Roof ballroom. The tune. "Espanolita” was composed in South America eight years ago. and was forgotten until Nolan met Roy Feltus at the local Variety Club luncheon last Monday. Feltus, who had known Nolan in South America, was attending the meeting as guest speaker, renewed his acquaintance with the orchestra leader and requested his orchestra to play "Espanolita.” Now the melody, the title of which

means "Little Spanish Girl,” is featured nightly on the Roof, and has been submitted to the ShapiroBernstein Publishing company, which has accepted it for publication. Nolan sings the lyrics of the song, which is written in tango tempo, in both English and Spanish. Another of his compositions, “My Love Song,” is used by his orchestra for a theme song. It is written in waltz tempo, and was to have been used by Wayne King for a new theme song, until Nolan organized his own dance unit. The Indiana Roof, ordinarily closed on Thursday, is making preparations for a gala Thanksgiving dance and frolic for next Thursday. The finals of the Roof's Stretch-A-Way contest to find the most perfectly proportioned young woman in this state will be staged next Friday night. Girls from all over the state will compete for a $75 cash award and other prizes, including an audition with the Ziegfeld “Follies.” Newly Decorated The Movie Inn, Fifty-fourth street and Michigan road, has recently added several new decorations which are in keeping with the theme suggested by the name.
