    Freeman company PUBLIC RELATIONS Hio a 0 t*w r^ ?· y^ April 22, 1954 PEOPLE Dear Evelyn, '^rr > Hope this finds you well and not working too hard. i was sorry you had to pass up las vegas on your last trip out here, but i understand you will be coming to the coast pretty soon -?╟÷ and i think you'd get a kick out of seeing the place this time. in the meantime* would you please consider for colli?·r*s, a piece about a young man who, not even ko yet, has spent more money for theatrical talent and entertainment than any other person in america ~~who has already purchased more than &7??790*000 since 19^0 ?╟÷ AND IS CLIPPING ALONG AT THE RATE OF lit^kQ,OOP a year now! Since he started purchasing this human talent to present in his own productions, this new Ziegfeld has helped entertain about 43>QQ2,000 peoi IN HIS NIGHTCLUB ROOMS I Only 39* ^t has signed more payroll checks for top showbusiness stars, second and third acts, and musicians than any other american producers- more than 6ls5 checks to some 13^0 copa llne chorus girls, 3290 musicians, 15*+5 featured acts, and 3?? top actsj i believe a personal interview with Jack Entratter, a former co-owner and producer at the Copacabana in New York, and now a co-owner and the producer at the sands in las vegas, would give you an interesting story on entertainment. the opinions on Entratter by the top theatrical agencies in America, musicians, acts, and some of the stars themselves would help give you an exclusive look at the man who is now thought of by american showbusiness on the same level with earl carroll and zlegfeld. Would appreciate your comments and would like to invite you to stay at the sands if you can manage time off from la on your next trip.
