Covina, Calif. San Gabriel Valley Tribune (Circ. D. 68,850) H3ARNEY GLAZER IN LAS VEGAS Tony Curtis Bpws in Palace u At long last, Tony Curtis makes his nightclub debut. Tony bows Nov. 2 at Caesars Palace. No need to ask Tony why he permitted so many other filmstars to get the saloon jump on him. Everyone can't be first. Even Zsa Zsa Gabor's most recent ex-husband can testify to that. Caesars Palace has acquired from ABC-TV the nightclub use of the title, "Hollywood Palace,' which seemed like the natural thing to do. So, Tony hosts the Caesars Palace "Hollywood Palace" (am I stuttering?) starring Tammy Grimes, Both stars head "Caesars j Palace" for four of the seven- week variety show schedule. What will Tony Curtis do besides look pretty? He'll perform the feats of magic he learned when he starred in the "Harry Houdini" movie. Smart lad, Tony. If the| act doesn't develop as planned, he has his own escape kit. And he knows how to get out fast when the danger is most imminent. Following "Hollywood Palace, Ion Nov. 28 Caesars opens "Fid- Idler on the Hoof," starring Theodore Bikel. This is a full scale production of the Broadway hit, not a scaled-down version.

Where Howard I Hughes and the Sands are trying jto deemphasize enormous !salaries, the Frontier is upping v its offers to bait the big fish. They follow Eddie with Bill Cosby, Bobby Darin, Barbara Eden, Abbe Lane and Diana Ross and The Supremes. That should cost the Frontier plenty of the stuff used for skimming! but then they expect to bait] fish with suckers. Now who do you think that would be except the great American public who know it, admit it and love it!
