ACE OF SPADES CLUB


QNE imagines, of course, a room lull of James Bonds


raking in ihc chips, volup­ tuous blondes kissing the dice before flinging them on the table, and smooth, so smooth,


croupiers showing complete unconcern as twenty thousand changes hands. Or perhaps your imagina­


tion runs 10 a smoke-filled room with lough-iooking apaches mopping their brows


as Lady Luck plays yet another cruel trick.


It’s not at all like that. For a night out with a


difference, the Ace of Spades Club at Whallcy is hard to beat in East Lancashire. Well- known artistes (next week Donald Peers is the star) , provide entertainment which i goes on into the small hours.


A tinkling piano . . a


smooth crooner . . • a candlelit table . . . a bottle of wine . . . . an excellent meal • . . ibe club offers all this and much more in a taste­ ful, luxurious atmosphere.


With a growing member­


ship which has already passed the 500 mark, drawn from all classes of people in an area extending to Manchester, the dub is obviously here to stay.


. .It is. a far cry from the


tanner night out at Whalley cinema and the dij^s of Pola' Negri to a night out at East Lancashire's newest night­


spot. . You wade through, rather


than walk on, the carpet. You sink into, rather than sit on, the chairs. And you settle down for an evening’s enter­ tainment which could well


turn out to be financially I profitable.

Solicitors, doctors, business­ men—they're all there. Yet the membership represents an accurate cross-section of the population of the district. It's surprising who one meets

there. "We try to provide the best


in clean entertainment. If patrons wish to have a bit of a flutter they’re welcome to try their luck. And it needn't cost them too much. The minimum stake for some of the games is 6d. In fact we recommend that they don’t gamble more than they can afford. Not many dubs do that.


‘N o strip’ Speaking was Brian Cren­


shaw. secretary of the club and one of the men behind


its formation. “Definitely no strip. Oh no.


we don't want anything like that. Once you bring in the strip girls the best part of your members leave. In their place come a very undesirable element. At least, that’s the way I sec it. We can keep our patrons entertained very nicely without anything like


that;" Patrons are sometimes kept


entertained until dawn, often in the small chemin-de-fer


room. “I think you'll find thats „ , , .


where most of the big games are played. A lot of money changes hands sometimes. If can get very interesting. They have the money to’spend, we provide the cards and the croupier. Sometimes the hause


wins, sometimes ihc members win." They crowd round the


roulette table. The wheel spins, the silver, ball revolves. Faites vos jeux. mesdames et messieurs. Wcll._ not quite, but the meaning's the same. And the wheel spins, and


spins. The house wins, or 26 red


wins and a gamer collects his winnings.


There is blackjack or Casa­


blanca or roulette or chcmin- dc-fer and even the ubiquitous one-armed bandit. But for most, the entertain­


ment's the thing. For a mem­ bership fee which compares favourably with many another establishment one can be treated to soft lights and sweet music free and gratis.


Big names Or one can twist, or shake,


or stomp, or bang, or crush or things like that. You request, and the band plays.


' Mike Shaun is the resident


swoon crooner and entertain­ ments manager.


“We've got some pretty- big


names lined up. You know, young Bobby Bennett and people like that. People on-thc way up. Of course, they 11 flock to see Donald Peers. We'll pay him good.money, but il'lfbc worth it. This is a competitive business and we’ve got to be the best and have the best." The club occupies, the top
