'HEN Senator Huey Long goes to the Shoreham what does he ask Barnee to play for him? , .. why “Way Down South in New Or- leans” of course . .. and so delighted was he with the way this patent- leather haired maestro ripped out that melody the other night that he prom- ised Barnee to bring out the music for his “Every Man a King” theme- song . . .some- thing which Bar- nee has been awaiting with great eagerness, ~~ inasmuch as he knows already most everyone's theme - song _in town . . . this would include ditties for George Marshall, for beauteous Evelyn Walker, for that tail blond goddess-with-a-scottie, Jacque- lin Story, for Audrey Campbell, who has taken another house in Bermuda; for young Eleanor Roosevelt; for Helen Wardman, who now is positively known as “the best dressed woman in ‘Washington”; for “Doggy” Waggaman, and possibly for “Mike” McConnihe, now recovered from his illness, and seen frequently with a tall, dark-eyed beauty at many and many a night haunt. — e ORI ® ¢ * Speaking of the Shoreham— that fellow Eddie Collis, this week's M. C. and songster, has made over 3.000 gramophone records in London . .. used to entertain at the Prince of Wales’ parties . . . has sung before such international beauties as Lady Furness and a hundred and more other guests at the Prince's private lodge in Milton Moybray . . . and lives in stylish Eton Square next door to Noel Coward’s house and so near Buckingham Palace that if he threw a stone it might very well land in Queen Mary's boudoire. d Here’s a new one—the Napo- leon , . . located on Connecticut ave- nue a block from famed Dr. Green's house (where, oh where, is Julian, has | asked many a greedy spinster) . . . located in the house built 22 years ago by Joseph P. Tumulty, secretary to President Wilson, and later sold to George B. Christian, secretary to President Harding . . . now it belongs to Napoleon, and both Ex-owners Tumulty and Christian are steady customers. * ¢ * Ethel Barrymore's son, John Drew Colt, was a recent visitor at the Hi-Hat . . . and Judge and Mrs. C. Holmes of Shreveport, La., have been entertained there also of late by Mr. and Mrs. Russell Conn, who should know a bit about the Ambassador, since they own it. ® * * If you haven't heard Vivian (Cotton Club) Baber sing “I'm Wai ing for Ships that Never Come Home" you missed a lot . . . Even Maestro Vincent Lopez, who believes that the jazz era is over, was seen drinking it in the other night . . . the reason being that it isn't a jazz song—but a straight dramatic ballad that tugs good and loud at the heart, * * * Scene: The bamboo room of the Willard Hotel. Time: Late after- noon. Cast: The quen of the azalea festival of Charleston, S. C., Miss Mary Daniels, and Ambasador Saito of Japan. The former had come up to see how the cherry blossoms com- pared with her azaleas.” The latter had been down to see how the Nippon flowers looked in the sun. It rained. So all the queen of the azaleas did was to take a look at the cherry blos- &oms’ sponsor from Japan. And all the Ambassador of Japan did was to look at the queen of the azalea festival from Charleston. **¢ Moe (Club Habana) Baer says: “‘Flowers for Madame’ will be the hit song of the week next week.” *** Unanswered challenge: Emory Daugherty’s challenge to Bill Strick- land’s gang to play base ball. “++ Busses will ply between down- town Washington and the Maryland Club Gardens around the first of May. . . . This is a good idea. . . . It means that your car will positively be at your front door when vou get up the next morning after three hours’ sleep to go to work. *** Out went the lights the other night at the Heigh-Ho Club . . . timid females screamed . . one man fainted . . one young lady jumped up on top of the piano . then suddenly out of the darkness came light . . . “It's Lady Macbeth doing her sleep-walking scene,” cried a dizzy patron. .« . . “Oh, my” said Mrs. Tony Geyelin, down from Philadel- delphia with hus- band Tony, and ¥ being entertained there by the popular Matthew Dicks, who had $ looking Mrs. Al- bert Dewey, and Mr, and Helen Wardman and Spottisford White, “is this part of the fioor show? . “Oh, no,” an- swered one of the crowd, “the lights never go out in Washington, . . but they had, and “Lady Macbeth" advanced . . tripping stealthily down those stairs, * white and ghostlike behind that candle . . . then somebody shrieked again, not from fright, but from amazement and relief: “My Christo- pher—buit it's Pete—Pete Macias,” . . and with that, clever Massa Pete, who knows how to get his customers out of all trouble, admitted that he wasn't Lady Macbeth, just | Pete, that when the lights went out, | even though he was lying somewhat sick abed upstairs in his eerie perch |and with a dressing gown for his | dinner jacket, he had grabbed for | a candle instead of a sweet . . . had decided to save his downstairs guests | from whatever panic they might be | thrown into by the advent of no light . . and had plunged him- self pell-mell down the stairs with only a candle to guide him . . were such smooth looker-onlookers as Gertrude Faust, Mrs. Cornelia Pen- | dleton Mayo, “Chip” Robert, Ade- | laide Moffett (back from New York) | and Sol Rosenblatt . . . applauded loudly “Lady Macbeth,” who had turned so suddenly into Pete. | *** Hits of the week: Anatole’s own | cocktail in the Mayflower lounge . . . the dance team at the Club Habana .
