The 18 Club and Jack White’s Prodigy of Sand Street
New York reminiscences recall the 18 Club at 28 W 52nd Street a dingy cellar where Jack White presided over brash impromptu comedy. legends like Jackie Gleason and Loretta Young flashed through, with stars of stage and screen frequenting the room. White kept a Giants scoreboard, inviting chaos and wild humor as patrons including Hitchcock, Broadway names, and politicians dropped in for brief, if improvised, performances.
