Queen of the Night Clubs

Queen of the Night Clubs is a 1929 American PreCode musical drama film produced and directed by Bryan Foy, distributed by Warner Bros., and starring legendary nightclub hostess Texas Guinan. The picture, which featured appearancess by Eddie Foy, Jr., Lila Lee, and George Raft, is now considered a lost film.

The film starred the legendary bar hostess and silent film actress Texas Guinan as Texas Malone, a character obviously based upon herself. Guinans pal George Raft also appears in his first movie role. Queen of the Night Clubs was directed by Bryan Foy.The film was generally reviewed as mediocre by critics. Mordaunt Hall of The New York Times called it a somewhat entertaining thriller, though he found the ending amateurishly forced. Variety wrote, Tex hasnt much to do, but does what she has pretty well. Film Daily called it dull and uninteresting, writing, This film was built solely to give Tex Guinan a chance to show how she runs her Broadway night club, but it has been done so often and so much better in other films of night club life that it carries no kick. John Mosher of The New Yorker expressed disappointment, writing, Rather to our surprise and much to our regret, Miss Guinan doesnt carry the picture with as much verve as it might seem that she would. ........
