Mr. Wright. Nothing. Just Jack’s own mind and the way he thought.
Mr. Griffin. What sort of things did he attempt to do to attract people from their club to his club?
Mr. Wright. Well, trying to put in different ads. In fact, he had a billboard made about his club and some of the pictures of the acts in the club put in the cleaners underneath Abe’s club and things of that sort.
Mr. Griffin. That is the Enquire Shine & Press Shop?
Mr. Wright. Yes; it is right below Abe’s club and each night the guy would stick it in the window and it advertised Jack’s club, which was down on the other side of the parking lot from Abe’s club.
Mr. Griffin. Did Jack use amateur strippers in his shows?
Mr. Wright. Yes; they all do.
Mr. Griffin. Now, do you recall that there came a time when Jack felt that he wasn’t being permitted to use the amateurs and the Weinsteins were?
Mr. Wright. Well, Jack fought the battle. First of all, Jack didn’t like to put out the money that Abe and Barney were putting out, because Abe and Barney would use on their amateur shows, which is held once a week in each club, they would use on the average, if they had the girls, maybe five or six girls, which would cost them anywhere from $10 to $15 a girl. Jack felt that that was too much money to put out, so he would, therefore, use three or four girls. But in the meantime, he was trying to get the union to stop amateur shows altogether.
Mr. Griffin. Did the union have any sort of rule against amateur shows?
