Large Guest List
On Opening Night
When the Komedy Klub threw its doors open to the public on Thanksgiving Eve, their facilities for handling the large crowd that responded to the invitations sent out by the "Klub" were taxed so severely as to make it impossible for secretary Boots Hope to list his guests in time for last week's papers.
Roast turkey, chicken, roast pork, potato salad and cranberry sauce with ice cream and cake, all prepared by the Summit Hotel chef, George Carter, with the assistance of Miss Pearl Lee and a crew of Pennsylvania Dining car waiters, was served.
Andrew Fairchild acted as toastmaster. Officers E. L. Baker, C. H. Hogan, C. H. Hinton, Mr. Parks and Mr. Montague were especial guests of manager Bart Kennett and president George Watkins.
The list of members and guests included: Mr. and Mrs. Lew V. Watts, Mr. and Mrs. Warbington, Mr. and Mrs. Gus Smith, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Wooden, Miss Virginia Liston, Miss Helen Ash, Miss Elizabeth Alexander, Miss Helen Smith, Miss Mabel Peterson, Miss Beatrice Whitfield, Miss Lillian Goodner, Mr. and Mrs. Perry, Miss Ollie Perkins, Mr. and Mrs. Chance Oakley, Miss Coot Grant, Miss Estelle Miller, Miss Floyd, Mme.
