Texas Guinan: March 1929

March 1929: Texas Guinan's latest film - - "QUEEN of the NIGHT CLUBS" - - was ready to be seen by the public.

To benefit a press agents' "variety artists" charity, Texas allowed them to offer a premiere of this exciting b/w photoplay, part musical and part drama. The event was scheduled for early March at the famed Hippodrome on Sixth Avenue. In April, this film had its public debut in Manhattan.
