An account of the resource
The Poe & Pints project.
Beginning in 2015 and up to the present day, the Poe & Pints project is a coupling of a craft beer tasting and performances of dramatized versions of the works of Edgar Allan Poe and other Gothic writers.
Frank L. Sawyer first conceived of the project in 2014. Said Sawyer, “I wanted to create an unique event for the community. I have always been a Poe fan, so the idea of combining craft beers with Poe’s work, sounded right.” Working with DLC Managing Partner Jennifer Anderson, and local artists John Wright, Derek Burwell, and Erika Patrick, the team fleshed the project out. It’s just not October without what the Elko Daily Free Press called, “an evening of refreshingly original entertainment."

IT BEGAN IN ELKO
Big-Name Entertainment in Nevada
by Angela Aguirre {deBraga)
This story about big-nanie entertainment in Nevada
and its Elko beginnings was published in the
Northeastern Nevada Quarterly in 1982.
It is being re-printed here because this was also an
important part of the history of this area and many
of the present Quarterly readers either did not live
here, were not members, or were not even born when
this story came out the first time.

A hush fell over the opening night audience in the·
Lounge of the Commercial Hotel in Elko as plush
curtains parted. Applause broke out when the tuxedodad orchestra leader raised his battered silk top hat and
asked, "Is everybody happy?"
Big name show business in Nevada started that night
as Ted Lewis asked his famous question and gave his
That successful merging began in 1937 when Newton

Hotel. Although the hotel bar had been open, even
during periods of prohibition, the new addition was
Elko's first sophisticated cocktail lounge. There was a
small dance floor in front of an alcove where three or
four musicians held forth entertaining bar patrons and
dancing couples, The popularity of the room led Newton

Hunt Crumley, son of the hotel's owner, to the idea that
made him the "Father" of big name hotel-casino show
business.
Today, when people think of the Silver State, they see
visions of exotic showgirls, dazzling lights, top-notch
entertainment and that unique magic of gambling.
Through young Newt's activities big time entertainment
thrived in Elko for more than two decades.
Gaming in Nevada was legalized by the 1931 state
legislature, but it wasn't until the 1940s that gambling
and name entertainment joined hands in a winning
combination that would grow into today's huge exciting
industry.
In early 1941 remodeling was completed on a new
show area just west of the old lounge.
Young Crumley contracted the "High-hatted Tragedian
of Jazz," along with his world famous orchestra and
21-member stage revue for an eight-day run. On April
26, Lewis began the parade of big name entertainers to

Elko. The tab was $12,000 per week, a fabulous price- for
a modest-sized city like Elko.
When local citizens heard that Ted Lewis was coming
to Elko, it was too much for them to believe. A rumor
circulated that Lewis would not appear and, if the band
did come, the leader certainly would not be the famed
Lewis himself, but someone posing as him. After his
appearance, someone was heard to remark, "If the former
During the orchestra's appearance, the Commercial's
business was brisk and even Lewis joined in the
gambling. In fact, when he left Elko, he had spent all
he made and departed with the two Crumleys holding
his IOU for a sizeable amount- so large that Lewis
endorsed his contract check in such a manner that he
agreed to a return engagement to square the marker.
Elko appealed to other entertainers. Many show people
stayed in Elko for a week or two
just to have fun. In order to rest
and "get a little Nevada sunshine,"

of the Red Hot Mamas," came
to town two days prior to her
Commercial engagement. After
her arrival, she met a number of
Elkoans at the Lounge and topped
off the day by going to the movies.
The hotel management also
arranged for her to visit the Petan
Ranch in northern Elko County.

doubting Thomases ofElko heard that Eleanor Roosevelt
was going to broadcast 'My Day' under the Lounge
auspices from the corner of Fourth and Railroad Street,
they'd be on hand to watch the proceedings."
Lewis, his orchestra, and revue had the desired effect.
Former Nevada State Journal editor, Paul Leonard,
remembered the reaction as "electric."
When the show was over, many in the crowd stuck
around in the Commercial's casino that contained a long
bar, a roulette table, a couple of21 tables, a few poker
tables and a simple lunch counter.
Thus, Nevada casino owners discovered that famous
name entertainment set an excellent atmosphere for
gambling, attracted people to the gaming rooms and,
therefore, paid off well in the long run.
Miss Tucker appeared with Carl
Ravazza's popular dance band in
the hotel's "Serenade to Summer."
She made such a hit Saturday
and Sunday nights that it was
announced that there would
also be a show Monday evening.
Ordinarily, no performance was
presented on Mondays; shows ran
from Saturday to Saturday, with a
break on Monday.
Huge crowds quickly made seating difficult on weekend
nights and the Commercial staff began taking fewer
reservations and held them only until 8:45 p.m. Efforts
were made to accommodate patrons on other nights so
there would be more room for dancing. The big bands
took up a large section of the floor. Floor shows in those
days were just that ... "floor shows."
The situation led to construction of a tiered platform
at the north end of the Lounge to afford guests seated
in that area of the night spot a better view of the
performance. Later, a stage was built in the end of the
room.
Many bandleaders of the era wrote one or two hit
songs, but Ray Noble, who came to Elko in July, 1941,

Radio." Together, they presented the "1941 Harvest of
Entertainment."
Next up, just returning from a theatre engagement in
New York City, came Paul Whiteman, "King of Jazz,"
who blitzed Elko crowds during his nine-day stint. This
left the Lounge management wondering where they were
going to "hang" the customers during the Elko County
Livestock Show and Fair.
The seventh "big time" show of the year featured Dave
Marshall and the NBC orchestra during Thanksgiving
week.
Club patrons who got a closeup ofWhiteman for the
first time went away remarking: "He's a real guy," "I liked
his informal way." "You can tell he's from the West."
When Whiteman was first signed to appear in Elko,

newspaper. So

with a five-act floor show.

The Commercial Hotel continued its "big-name" policy
after the war and was joined by its rival directly across the
railroad tracks through downtown Elko, the Stockmen's
Hotel. Once the Mayer Hotel, the 102-room building was
bought by R.C. "Red" Ellis and A. C. Bigham who changed
the name to the Stockmen's. They opened a lounge in
August, 1946, to take advantage of the county fair crowd
around Labor Day. A few weeks later, on October 4, the
name of the room was changed to the Roundup Room and
opened with "Hi" Davis and his orchestra, with Ann Triola,
a singing comedy star. The Andrini Brothers rounded out
the show.
Following the first show were stars Margaret Whiting, Burl

The general opinion of many was that this had been the
"biggest and most elaborate movie send-off since "Gone
With the Wind" in Atlanta," and that "Here Comes
the Groom" represented the greatest "entertainment
package" in Crosby's career, including "Going My Way,"'
He won an Oscar for Best Actor in 1944 for his role in
"Going MiWay."
Ellis sold the Stockmen's Hotel to Dan Bilboa Sr.,
J.B. Dollard and VJ. McGee, all of Boise, Idaho, on
December 30, 1952. By 1955, young Crumley decided
to look for new fields of action and had sold the
Commercial to Harrigton Drake. The sale did not go
through and Red Ellis purchased both the Commercial
Hotel and Ranchinn.
Entertainment in Elko continued to be first rate. Such
stars as Nelson Eddie and Jeanette McDonald, Anna
Maria Alberghetti and the original Sons of the Pioneers
performed.
Wayne Newton sang in Elko when he was just 12-years
old. Because of his age, he was escorted to and from the
stage.
Vikki Carr first came to Elko in 1959 with The Pars.
After playing only a short time at the Commercial, a
misunderstanding arose and she left the group. Being
19 then, she took a job at the front desk of the hotel
and became acquainted with Eileen and "Dutch"
Holdren who be~ame her "adopted parents," Miss Carr
moved in with the Holdren family and later returned
to entertaining at the hotel bar. From the Commercial

and Day. After that engagement, she left Elko but
returned to stay with the Holdrens in 1960 and 1961.
She often cleaned house, fixed meals and even mowed
the lawn during her visits.
Advertising has always played an important role in
attractive visitors to see big name casino attractions.
Thomas C. Wilson, in Nevada magazine, said, "In Elko,
where big name showbiz began in Nevada, there has
always been keen competition between the two leading
casinos. Billboards for the Stockmen's Hotel featured an
eye-grabbing bull in a strong highway campaign from
the Utah border to California. Scores of signs featured
the huge bull. One night a group of friends of the rival
Commercial Hotel drove across the entire state painting
the cattle brand of the Commercials owner on the side of
every Stockmen's bull. It meant nothing to tourists, but
provoked belly-laughs in every Western cowtown.
Exact prices paid for special entertainers are closely
guarded secrets, but in the forties, Ted Lewis was paid
$12,000 a week. From the mid-fifties to the mid-sixties,
the Commercial Hotel's entertainment budget was
$600,000 a year. Today, its budget is under $275,000
annually. The biggest and most expensive shows have
always been booked during holidays and county fair
time.
In Elko, shows have mostly been promoted locally,
though advertisements were run in Salt Lake City in
the 1950s through the 1970s.· Some commercials now
appear on the three Salt Lake television stations. Ellis

says he now employs around 250 people and spends
about $1.5 million annually on advertising.
Appearances of top-ranking performers cost their
sponsors hundreds of thousands of dollars for a week's
engagement. Such prices, the lack of proper facilities
and policy and ownership changes in Elko's leading
casinos brought an end to the "big name" era and
the entertainment center has migrated to the two
metropolitan areas in the state. Although big time shows
are gone from Elko, the memory of where it all started
in Nevada remains, and the city will always hold, with
pride, the title of where it all began back in 1941.
