CZzan Niatoucsne ‘LA MAIZON de TROUZZEAW CONNECTICUT AVENUE at M A Thrilling Pre-Easter Sale! Holcombes to Spain Mrs. Robinson to Mohawk Home—Miss Hegeman to New York. Ait_gr Dark Smart People, Smart Things, Smart Places. By the Spectator. Trade Mark Registered, U. 8. Patent Office.| . . . says she: “Dear Mr. Spectator: I am a visitor here in Washington for the first time . . . I have seen the Washington Monument and I have seen the cherry blossoms . . . now I want to see your night clubs . . . Can you tell me a little bit about them . .. describe them, as it were, for an out- of-town customer . . . Could I go alone? . .. I am 45, short, dark and a good dancer?” Answer: Dear Mrs. Out-of-town: I see no reason in the world for your going alone, particularly if you are short, dark and a good dancer . . . As to the night clubs here, they are in some sort of a scrambled list . . . The Heigh-Ho has a dance floor not much bigger than your shoe, but on it youwll find the blue-blood of the city and many a young college lad out for his first nocturnal revelrie; ask for Ramon and he'll give you a table in the cor- ner from which you may admire Marty Rubin as he pounds away at that drum; Pete Macias as he leads the or- chestra and un- doubtedly George Marshall,” one of this town's most popular citizens, coming there for a late bite, im- maculate in eve- ning clothes and ¥ a head of hair that stays black and shiny no matter what the breezes or the cir- cumstances . . . The Shoreham: This room, which rivals the Union Station in size and crowds (youll have to get your table early, but call Robert and he’ll put you as near Barnee as he dares) has more Senators around than any place in the world—you'll recognize Senator Copeland by his red carnation, and Huey Long if Barnee plays “Way Down Yonder in New Orleans”; you'll also see Eddie Collis, one of the Prince of Wales' favorite entertainers, heading the floor show . . . In the Carlton Lounge you'll see the only bar of its kind in the world—a bar that turns itself inside | out (you'll have to figure this one out for yourself) . The Club | Habana is famous for its Cuban at- mosphere, for its socialite owner, Guy Scott (he’s always in a dinner jacket), and for Moe Baer, who grins as he plays a very gwell fiddle—this place is haunted by the embassies of the hot countries—any country below the Mason-Dixon line gives it plenty of time . . . The Hi-Hat (Ambassador Hotel) is popular because it is small, because Frank McNey knows how to give his customers a good time and | because the dim blue lights take the lines out of most everybody's face—if you go in the afternoon you'll find good old Hawaiian \\ music just the same (Corcoran Thom, jr., local Brummel, likes this one) ... If you want to stay up after 2 the Cotton Club is the hottest place in town . Youwll find the newspaper crowd and possibly Peggy Burch v Holden (distinguished blond wife of Dr. Ray Holden, jr.) at the Kaleido- scope, a place which has interesting wall displays even if its outside sign could be improved on . . . The May- flower lounge has the most beautiful cigarette girl in the city (ask for Harriett and she’ll come running), and music over which Sidney and his boys work like a dog—never a day goes by but some celebrity doesn’t walk in here, and one of the city’s important dancers, Mary Murray Hume, is apt to be polka-ing with a tall dark man who is a bear on horse racing . . . The Willard has a bam- boo room which is the delight of the Sawurday afternoon college crowd . . . the Washington has a tap room which is swell if you can get a seat next to the wall (March Connelly put | this place on the map) . . . and then | if you want to see the nicest people in town go to Pijerette after 5/ o'clock and get a bird’s-eye view of Mrs. Joseph Leiter, “Ma” Williams, Jacqueline Story, Helen Wardman and that crowd. ® ¢ ¢ Briefs: There will be no dancing in the Mayflower lounge to- morrow—concert music, that's all . . . After Shorehaming nightly Barnee and his gang are apt to wander over to the Kaleidoscope for late sup- per or early breakfast . . . Seen at the same table at the Mayflower: Mayor Fiorello La Guardia, Marvin| McIntyre and Mr. and Mrs. James | Moffett . . . And between rehearsals | of “Daphne’s Debut,” local show to be given April 23 and 24 in the Mayflower's ball room, Adelaide Mof- fett, Mrs. Charles Hurd and Isham | 'S Keith, jr. (the latter suddenly 9 free from “Sailor Beware”) ... i And just around the corner from the Keith gang the other day sat Govs. James M. Curley of Massa- chusetts, Louis J. Brann of Maine and H. Styles Bridges of Massachusetts . . . and just around the corner from the Governors sat Count Fumasoni-Biondi, Evelyn Walker and “Chip” Roberts . . . the Zastros name—that elegant dance trio up at the Club Habana—is Zastro, and they should be called THE Zastros—not Zatro, as some low crony told Ye Spectator last week . . . Admiring their swanky musical comedy routine recently were Franklin K. Lene and Mrs. Alice | Nibley Smoot . Among those | present at Adolph Merz's swanky Mayflower party the other day were Mrs. Ross Gravener with a Cossack bonnet that would have knocked Rasputin’s eye out, and Nicholas A.| Dunaev__(pron d_“Dunay”), tal- | % SALTY note comes from a visitor from Wichita, Kans. Supper I0PM.- 1AM «'QA John Slaughter & (O g \ iy /) 9, WILLARD HOTEL ented Russian novelist, poet and playwright, hot from Hollywood . . . The boys at the Lotus say they won't play ball . . . “Reunion at the Shore- ham”—and that means Eddie Peabody said hello to his old friend, Eddie Collis . . . Mrs. Jacob Leander Loose appeared at the Shoreham a few nights ago in a dress trimmed with ermine that had all the other guests green with envy . . . and Novelist Lewis-Ant:I';fson Wedding Tuesday An attractively-arranged wedding took place Tuesday evening at 8:30 o'clock in the home of Mr. and Mrs. ‘W. T. Anderson at 3544 New Hamp. shire avenue northwest when their daughter, Miss Helen Anderson, be- came the bride of Mr. William Robert Lewis, son of Mr. and Mrs. William D. Lewis of 1326 Fairmont street northwest. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. Vernon N. Ridgeley of the Calvary Methodist Episcopal Church. The wedding took place before a mantel banked with ferns, palms and Easter lilies. The home was prettily decorated with pastel-color cut Spring flowers. The bride, who was given in mar- riage by her father, wore a pale blue princess model tulle and dotted net gown with foupdation of satin, and bonnet of tulle. She wore a corsage cluster of gardenias and lilies of the valley. Her sister, Miss Evelyn An- derson, was maid of honor and only attendant. She wore a gown of pale pink chartreuse chiffon crepe, with shoes to match and a corsage bouquet of talisman roses. ‘The bride’s mother wore a gown of soft black satin, with shoulder corsage of gardenias. Mr. Comer Sypult, former school- mate of Mi. Lewis, was best man. Mrs. Marion K. Ferguson, grand- mother of the bride, played the wed- ding march, also played several selec- tions on the piano before the cere- mony. She wore & gown of plum- color chiffon velvet. Guests were relatives and close friends of the bride and bridegroom. A reception followed the ceremony, Mr. Lewis and his brids leaving soon after for a short wedding trip. Mr. Lewis is a graduate of the local schools, and of the Blackstone Military College, and is in business here. Upon their return from the wed- ding trip Mr. and Mrs. Lewis will make their home at 1326 Fairmont street northwest. Commissioner to Be Judge at Fort Myer The Commissioner of the District of Columbia, Mr. Melvin C. Hazen, has been selected as one of the judges at the indoor horse show to be held in the riding hall at Fort Myer, Va., Tuesday evening at 8 o'clock. Com- missioner Hazen, who is a breeder of fine horses, an enthusiastic horseman and one of the best qualified judges in this section of the country, has given his services to further the in- | terest of horses and riding. Col. Kenyon Joyce, commanding of- ficer at Fort Myer, has also secured- Lieut. Col. Horace Fuller. Field Ar- tillery, United States Army, of Fort Hoyle, Md.. and Lieut. Col. W. M.
