Out of the night clubs
The Copacabana, the hungry i, the Marigold Gardens, and a thousand rooms with a two-drink minimum. Lena Horne came out of the Cotton Club at sixteen; Barbara Cook went the other way and built a second career in cabaret after Broadway was finished with her. Matched on the trade and never on the word alone, or this would return the cast of Cabaret.
