Roderick Mann Behan to star in cabaret-at £1,000 a week

• BUZY PARKER-provocative, red-haired, and very, very temperamental will soon be seen in a new British Blm Circle of Deception.

who set New York on its ear a few weeks ago by staggering into a performance of his play The Hostage and haranguing first the cast and then the audience is going to do cabaret.

In San Francisco, of all places the society- conscious, cultural heart of America.

He will appear at a club, called the Hungry 1--and get £1,000 a week.

Behen broke the news to me just after balling out an acquaintance in Dublin (for £250).

"Ore thousand pounds a wedit may not raise the hair on come stars head" be roared, "But remember, I'm going to Est raid for something I've been doing all my life för damn all-tanding.

"Oh, it's great to think that some people are prepared to pay for that sort of thing."

His cabaret performance, I understand, will conslot ог songs, comments and stories.

He said: "The management has no objection to clean jokes. They may be lewd loo, but they must be good,”

How long will his performance last?

"Damme, how do I know how long it will inst? As long as the puntera con take it, I suppose. Or as long as I can take the punters."

Some of those San Francisco society matrone, I'll warrant, are in for a sharp attack of the vapours.
