There were three or four other dance halls in town but they had only a couple of musicians working in each.

It was a a beautiful place . . . the first thing you came to were three gambling tables and a bar. There was a big maple dance floor with an oak railing between the bar and the dance floor.

At the far end of the dance floor was the bandstand, built like a theater stage. One side of the dance floor was lined with booths, and each had a table and chairs inside and a door that could be closed. This is where the girls took the fellows to have a drink.

All . . Around the top of the dance floor was a balcony with a row of rooms with beds, which made it the largest sporting house in Tonopah with not 2/3 girls but dozens.
