    fi f:.^ .4 ERSKINH JOHNSON "Jack Entratter*s re-discovery of Van Johnson as a song'n dance left MQMl bug-eyed! But it should be revealed that Entrattar had enough confidence in Van to advance him the first week's salary $15,000 - and enough foresight to make him spend it only on writers and choreographers. The movie bosses are still flabbergasted with the result." m UNITED PRESS "....it took a lot of courage and confidence to launch this desert cabaret challenging and meeting the standards of the London Palladium. "Entratter did it though....with his relationship with the great and the near great.. ..made him confident of his plan for a Palladium of the Desert. Since the arrival of Entratter in Las Vegas, other resort hotels there have gone for the same type of high-class entertainment, reaching out across the nation and the world for their attractions. Hollywood has lost its Place Pigalle, and It looks as though it has moved 300 miles to Las Vegas where the attraction, a Desert Palladium is featinring the world's finest actors and entertainment, who perform for 450 people at a time in the Copa Roam, The Desert Palladium's name, ironically, is The Sands - and Entratter*8 to blame!"
