It was run by Victor de Correa who was a Cuban Impresario. This nightclub was a mix of gambling at the casino and being bewitched by the cabaret. People flocked to the club for the tropical gardens that provided the setting for this natural outdoor cabaret setting.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>1939<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Victor de Correa relocated the performers into a converted mansion that was on the estate.
