Rocker Four nightclub in Tokyo, 1952
Patrons are requested not to join the floor shows. In the Marine Room a chorus of cuties wiggle the night away while you sip a tall cool drink at ringside. Rocker Anniversary - A familiar sight to patrons of the Rocker-4 club in Tokyo is the Marine ballroom packed with merrymakers enjoying fine entertainment. The club celebrates its first birthday in its present location tomorrow. A free buffet supper has been planned for the occasion.
Servicemembers and their dates enjoy the floor show in the Marine Room at The Rocker Four nightclub in downtown Tokyo. The Tokyo Cuban Boys band can be seen playing on the large balcony overlooking the ballroom as the showgirls entertain the guests under the giant painted octopus on the ceiling. The Marine room is one of the two ballrooms at the club. The Rocker Four Club opened its doors July 4, 1952, during the Korean War and in its 6 years of existance was the biggest - and to many the swingingest - NCO club in the world before closing its doors in March 1958. The Romanesque building with a 58,592 square-feet inside floor space housed two ballrooms, four bars, as well as several restaurants and snackbars. The biggest and most popular club made so much money in its heyday that free-drink and steak-dinner nights became a regular feature.
