Is there any link between the Kit Kat chocolate bar and the Kit Kat Klub featured in Cabaret?

NO. ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS: No. Rowntree invented the Kit Kat in 1935, and Christopher Isherwood's book Goodbye To Berlin, on which the musical Cabaret was based, appeared in 1939. It's tempting to believe so. However, Isherwood named his 'boys' club' just off the Tauentzienstrasse The Lady Windermere. Joe Masteroff wrote the book for Kander and Ebb's musical, which was in turn turned turned into a film starring Liza Minnelli as Sally Bowles, but it wasn't until 1966 that it became the Kit Kat Klub. It is believed that Masteroff named it Kit Kat Klub because the initials were KKK and the Nazi-era musical was written during the civil rights movement. Kit Kat bars weren't available in the United States until the 1970s. Katie Williams, Warminster, Wilts.

ANN LESLIE: Paul Newman, Sophia Loren, Liza Minnelli, Sean Connery, Tennessee Williams, Arthur Miller, Samuel Connery, John Betjeman, Sammy Davis Jnr. .. . There was barely a celebrity in film, books, and theatre, though I didn't interview as a young showbusiness reporter in the 1960s. Simply typing a few of the names at random brings me right back to long chummy chats in plush restaurants or even luxury hotel suites, or in gritty Parisian suburbs. Some of the actors wanted our chats to be more than chummy. David Niven (left), a worldwide symbol of the exemplary English gentleman, was one of many. We'd all meet up in London and he'd regale me with Hollywood tales about what he and his chum Errol Flynn will get up to in, as they christened it, 'Cirrhosis-on-Sea'.
