... 75 years ago this week the Reeves Sisters Quartet performed their cabaret act at Chez Maurice. These luscious sistas complemented the club's regular troupe, which took to the stage nightly from 6 p.m. until 2 a.m. closing. TV killed the nightclub industry but, hopefully, these gals are still around. Hey Reeves sisters, call us!Phil Maurice's Chez Maurice was in the Empire Building, 1244 St. Catherine West, between Drummond and Mountain -- a couple of doors east of where Urban Outfitters is today. Club headliners over the years included Ella Fitzgerald, Dizzy Gillespie, Stan Kenton, Cab Calloway and Maynard Ferguson.
