Refugees From “Blue” Laws Are
Reported Flocking To Las Vegas
By ERSKINE JOHNSON
NEA Staff Correspondent
I.AS VEGAS, Nev.—(NEA)—A |
Las Vegas movie theater owner
must be the envy of every theater
owner in America. Here in the
wide open spaces of legalized
gambling there is a 10-cent slot
machine right next to his lobby
popcorn dispenser.
Birthday and wedding -cakes
brought to tables in the supper
club of the Flamingo Hotel are
decorated with Fourth of July
sparklers, set aglow just before
they are delivered to guests usually
already aglow.
Marti Schenck, daughter of
movie baron Nicholas Schenck,
here for her first night club sing
ing engagement, is changing her
name, I hear, to Marlo Stevens so
ghe won't be accused of cashing in
on papa’s name.
The El Rancho Vegas paid So
phie Tucker $7500 a week and the
Flamingo will pay Tony Martin
$12,000 every Saturday for a two
‘'week engagement. But there are
no cover charges and no mini
mums anywhere.
Tony Lucey, the restaurateur
with an interest in the Golden
Nugget gambling hall, just built a
new home with a $40,000 kitchen.
The El Rancho maintains a 46-
foot cruiser for bass fishing and
cruising on nearby Lake Mead for
V. 1. P’s (very important people).
The lake’s bass fishing is the
best in the West, but Chet Lauck,
of Lum ’n’ Abner, has a private
bass lake on his 1500-acree ranch
a few miles from town.
Those are several reasons why
Las Vegas is called fabulous.
Bigger and Better
But each year the town gets
fabulouser.
Now it’s a horse-race track and
a tailor-made ghost town. Work
men are leveling off the desert for
what Joe Smoot says will be one
of the finest racing tracks in the
country. Smoot promoted Hialeah
and hopes to repeat his success in
Nevada.
The Last Frontier Hotel is raid
ing western ghost towns for a com=
plete western village of 50 build
ings. Many are already there, plus
a fantastic collection of old auto
mobiles, trains and wagons.
The town of Las Vegas spends

$750,000 a year on advertising and
promotion, yet the average cost of
hotel rooms is only $6 a day. The
state’s legalized gambling makes
the town, as the Chamber of Com~
merce says:
“An oasis for the harassed refu
gee from artificial restraints and
laws of other states.”
Ninety-one per cent of Nevada's
citizens, by the way, are directly
employed because of gambling
towns such as Las Vegas and Reno.
Best gambling story I heard was
‘about Jake Kattleman, casino boss
and part owner of the El Rancho.
Before Truman was even nomi
nated and when there was still
talk that Eisenhower might run,
Kattleman took Truman at 7% to
1. The gamblers rushed him but
Jake took ’em all on—and cleaned
up. |
It was Jake who told me about
the fantastic luck of a fellow at
the E 1 Rancho who bet $1 on the
“hard way” six (10-1) at the crap
table, won $lO and let it ride. The
six came up for the second time.
The fellow let his SIOO ride for the
third time and again the six came
up.
Jake still groans when he thinks
about it. o g
The fellow walked in, bet $1
and walked away less than two
minutes later with SIOOO. “That,”
says Jake, “was walking away with
my blood.”
“oOld West” Returns
Once a year, in May, Las Vegas
celebrates with a “Helldorado™
festival. The celebrating is done
in western garb from a $50,000
wardrobe repossessed by the local
sheriff when a $200,000 Las Vegas
film company went broke in 1946.
The company planned to convert
a wartime magnesium plant
building into a sound stage for
western film producers and bought
the big wardrobe as an added in=
ducement.
The whole idea fell on its face
when the company was unable to
find housing for casts and crews.
Attractions coming up at the Las
Vegas Little Theater, directed by
Bill Willard, are “Room Service”
and “The Women.” One of the
stars is Jim Booker, a 22-year-old
hotel policeman who already has
movie talent scouts in his hair.
Las Vegas prides itself on béing
unusual, A motel here calls itself
an “Autel.”
There may be talk of a depress
ion elsewhere in the U. 8., but no
one seems to worry about money
in Las Vegas, I asked Wilbur
Clark when he and his partners
expected to get their money back
from a $2,500,000 investment in the
Desert Inn, opening in May.
“In about two years,” he said.
“If there were no taxes, we could
doitina yeax".” jatl
Look twice at a group of extras
dancing in the background of a
party scene in “East Side, West
Side.” One of ’em is James Mason,
who did it for laughs.
Air Radio Series
“Something For Nothing Buga
boo” will be the subject of the
first in a series of seven weekly
radio programs to be sponsored by
the Athens Chamber of Commerce
beginning at 5:30 this afternoon
over station WRFC. |
William J. Bird, national affairs
advisor, Chamber of Commerce of
the United States, will be the com~
mentator who will discuss a grow=
ing philosophy that money coming
from Washington represents “free”
handouts to citizens.
The series is being presented in
the interest of better government
through better citizenship, and is
a feature of the Chamber of Com
merce of the United States. The
national chamber is a federation of
local chambers of commerce,
numbering more than 3,000 organ=
‘ izations. .
The programs, it is hoped by lo
cal chamber officials, will stimu
late the thinking and consideration
of a large number of local citizens
who depend upon free enterprise
and the American way of life for
existence. This is one of several
projects of the local chamber of
commerce to encourage individual
citizens to obtain more information
on both sides of governmental is
sues, and to intelligently declare
their opinions to their Congress
men,
