I agree.Perhaps that's Why, when Dean was asked recently by a trade reporter where a certain outdoor movie was going to be made, he replied, ?ǥIn back of the Sands, where else?" The stories of the friendship between Jack and his stars are endless - many go way back to whan Jack was the producer at the Copacabana in Hew York, and helped some of today's great stars get their start. He dealt gently with then on starting salary} he , y trffcd to be the first one to talk about more money for their returp ^ engagements} he was usually the first one they turned to for advice on their acts. Even today, many of the stars come out after their opening show at the Sands, to ask him what he thinks of their opener; should trim it down, what should they do about this rough spot, etc. It should be very rewarding to Mr. Entratter to take a lock U around at the valuable piece of real estate that he calls the 'MM Sands. Ten years ago, it was pretty barren desert - but he and his partners threw a few fancy bricks together - about $4,000,000 worth * and over the masonry and lawns Entratter sprinkled the stardust that he had worked with, befriended, and who liked him. The result - 10 years later he has the top star showpiece in the world, where he presents not one star at a time, but clusters such as Sinatra, Martin, Seamy Davis, Joey Bishop, Peter Lawford in one tumultous show he calls the "Summit?ǥ show.
