(1\/80) (40\/161, 179)<br \/>\nIt was later <strong>Sherry’s<\/strong>, where Mickey Cohen was ambushed. (Was also briefly the LA version of <strong>Dave’s Blue Room<\/strong> — it was there that Shirley Temple met Mickey Cohen). Much later it was Gazzarri’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’s). He was the maitre d’ at the Earl Carroll Theatre before Herman Hover stole him away to run Ciro’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’s.
