trip; Baby Grand Cortez and
his band. Big Dee Irwin, a strong
vocalist; Cookie Perez, an exotic
dancer, and comic-mimic Jimmy
Cross as the emcee.
The Baby Grand’s license was
restored last Monday after the
SLA reconsidered two counts of
four which it had used to shutter
the place. Two of these counts
had been dismissed by the Ap
pellate Division of the Supreme
Court which overruled the Su
preme Court and dismissed char
ges that the dub had sold alcohol
to an intoxicated person or had
operated as a “clip Joint** because
of insufficient evidence.
The two counts which the SLA
reconsidered on were that the
club permitted disorderly con
duct on Its premises and that
men were permitted to purchase
drinks for female customers un
known to them.
