Proprietor Socks
Waiter In Swanky
Hollywood Nitery
Hollywood, Nov. 29 (U.R)
It's happened again at Club
Mocambo, that swank Holly
wood nightclub where forks and
fists have a way of flying be
tween the film city elite at the
drop ot a word.
This time, however, fllmdom's
uppercrust was on the sidelines
and the Mocambo's usually
suave proprietor and one of his
usually aloof waiters held the
center of the ring.
The proprietor was Charlie
Morrison, the waiter David D.
Dagmar and the whole thing
started when Morrison accused
Dagmar of serving- something
stronger than water to a sailor
who was already well saturated.
The mule ranks first in the
affection of North Carolina
farmers, outnumbering the horse
nearly 5 to 1.
