Show Biz f~- As It Was

By Frank Wagner

A 1963 invasion of the Windy City The 1962 opening of Julius Monk's Plaza 9 - at the Plaza Hotel in New York had been most successful. Each night the club was sold out, wall-to-wall, for both shows. It finally became apparent that huge financial gains were being dangled in front of Julius as the main incentives for opening additional clubs in other urban areas. Julius resisted strongly while he bathed in the success of Plaza 9 - but the pres- sures grew insurmountable and he finally said "yes" to a new club in Chicago. But, wise one that he was, his "yes" was sur- rounded with a number of contractual commit- ments that had to be fulfilled before Julius would budge. Thejane: requisite^^toat heMM the list was _ the choice of locations for the club in Chicago and absolute final say on the design of the interi- or and stage area.
