After Dark Smart People, Smart Things, Smart Places. By the Spectator. HE Mayflower Lounge provides the news of the week by an- nouncing that it will import Cyril Smith, the British radio eomic recently practicing his drollery on the Rudy Vallee radio programs, ard Zanette and Coles, lately of the Bt. Moritz Hotel in New York, to ap- pear at the open- .ing shindig to- morrow night. While no formal admission is yet made of the fact, this would seem to indicate the management may have decided to “alter its past pol- ey, which called for music, no floor show. It would also sug- gest that the im- _portation of . *Sunny” Robbins Forbes as a singer in the show is not Smerely a stunt to give the popular “nitery a sendoff for the Fall season, “but forerunner of a change that will ':menn much to the town's night owls. # .The more pessimistic gadabouts I who returned to town expecting to find | “the same old places wearing and dis- 3playing the same old faces are due for Pleasant surprises in other quarters Falso. Heigh Ho has concentrated upon “the renovation of its decorations to *lend fresh lustre to its 1936 debut to- *night, while other spots are giving their entertainment schedules a good working over on behalf of novelty. .Matt Windsor has organized a troupe “of 30 Russian performers for the fling- “ing wide of doors at Club Volga Boat- man next Tuesday eve. Includes ® chorus of 18 and an interpretive ballet group of six girls.

Joe Feldman, the songsmith who recently hammered out “Love Will Never Tcuch My Heart,” threatens to go into the cinemas if the tune is a hit . . . Henry Nestor, the singing cop, took the microphone by the ears at Hi Hat the other night and made the citizenry vay happy by letting fly with a ditty or two ... Ramon, of Ramon’s, does not have his own name in the telephone book, but when a friend sent him a postcard from New York addressed “Ramon, Washington, D.
