Was also a popular restaurant where once a week Jimmy Cagney, Spencer Tracy and Pat O\u2019Brien dined together. (1\/80) (40\/161, 179)<br \/>\nIt was later <strong>Sherry&#8217;s<\/strong>, where Mickey Cohen was ambushed. (Was also briefly the LA version of <strong>Dave&#8217;s Blue Room<\/strong> &#8212; it was there that Shirley Temple met Mickey Cohen). Much later it was Gazzarri&#8217;s and then was red tagged in Northridge, demolished and the <strong>Key Club.<br \/>\n<\/strong>Jon Ponder: LaMaze is a very interesting fella, and a major player on the Strip. He ran the Clover Club, Club Seville (the club in the building before it became Ciro&#8217;s). He was the maitre d&#8217; at the Earl Carroll Theatre before Herman Hover stole him away to run Ciro&#8217;s. That relationship ended after the fire when LaMaze went back to the Earl Carroll. Also opened in Mexico later, I think. He lived on the Strip in the Hacienda Park Apts. next door to Ciro&#8217;s.
