Miss Vaughan apparently was un
aware of the presence of her hus
band.
Both seem to have been enjoying
Dinah's blues chirping until Atkins
spotted Miss Vaughan at a table
and went over to Join her. An arg
ument ensued and Dinah, who had
left the stage during thp intermis
sion, went over and ti led to per
suade the couple to “quiet down".

picture shows the lower grammar grades queens sad adviser
(left to right): Sherry White, Mrs. V. L. Craig, advisor; Cathy Me*
Lamb (seated), and Wills Dean RoysL
according to witnesses
However. Dinah's effort proved
futile and She finally led Sarah to
her backstage dressing room, lock
ing Atkins out. In the meantime,
the nightclub management had
summoned police, who led Atkins
through the front door. “Sassy” fled
through a rear exit.
The Birdland hassle was the lat
est of a series of turbelent en
counters between the famous song
stress and her show business hus
band. Atkins was formerly Sarah’s
entertainment manager.
Atkins was first haled into court
after Miss Vaughan accused him
of threatening her and invading her
dressing room. But the couple
hurdled that difficulty by kissing
and making up in court.
However, a short time later they
were again in the news when Sarah
filed suit for divorce against At
kins. •
Recently, however. Atkins has
been trying to heal the breach be
tween them and reportedly gave
his wife a 112.000 mink coat aa a
“peace offering."
But the gossip grinders dealt At
kins reconcilliation efforts a stagg
ering blow by stating that he was
planning to wed another singer,
Gloria Lynne, after his divorce
from Sarah becomes final.
Atkins not only vigorously de
nied the rumor, but declared that
It had infuriated Sarah. It was not
known, however, if the marriage
rumor Ignited the "loud" argument
at Birdland.
