So many times have frequenters of the late spots watched the enter- tainment interlude spill out a dance tcam, followed by a singer into micro- phones, followed by a specialty dance, followed by some more singing into mikes, that most of them could recite the songs, the gestures, the dances 4n their sleep. To break into the patrons’ chatter, to make them sit up and take notice, an entertainer needs Eip, originality, voom, poisonality, qualities REATEST enemy of the per-|.. . ‘ former in a night club floor than the prevail- ing scale in night clubs.

As a first step in| that laudable policy, the town’s biggest outdoor dancery has imported a com- plete circus trapeze act, the Four Flying Flemings, who nightly swirl, swing and somersault over the turf| of Rock Creek Park, next to the| terrace tables.
