SOCIETY. After Dark Smart People, Smart Thinés, Smart Places. By the Spectator. Y town’s midnight merry-go- rounds have had a busy week end . . . according to reports that drift in to a Spectator who has had his long white beard entangled with elections, telephiones, bulletins to the blimp, and duty in the phone room ... where a femi- nine voice asked at 10:30 Tuesday morn, “Could you tell me who is President?” . . . I just woke up” ... First there came Halloween, which had everybody out chasing sundry spooks and goblins, & whole raft of people piling into the Wardman Park to give a listen and a look at the Garbo of rhythm, Ina Ray Hutton . . . mobs descending upon the Shoreham, the Heigh Ho, the Mayflower, the Troika, the Volga Boatman, other playgrounds # 7 ...and then there came elec- tion night ... Si-=- with the town out celebrating while they listened to the landslide roll in. ... At the Shore- ham Hotel Tuesday, watching that Bert Sloan dance and balance himself on a wire, while Democrats made whoopee, were Judge and Mrs. Rush 1. Holland ...also Rear Admiral and Mrs. George R. Clark. ... And earlier in the week at the Shoreham you might have seen a pair of hand- some and happy people at & small table just opposite the main entrance . ..and that would have been George Marshall and Corrinne Griffith Mar- shall . .. who seem to be back in circulation in town ... having been spotted also at a favorite nook at Pete Macias’ Heigh Ho . . . where, recently, Antonio Gonzales, uncle of Pete and Minister to Ecuador, had a look at the carriage trade of local night life. * ¢ ¢ The opening of the Four- “Thirty Club, at the Madrillon last week, was a huge success....And Frank McNey was a huge success again, also . . . and the cigarette girl, too, was & success . . . t least, with one aviation mogul. . . . Her name is Parmalie, but before the evening was over that first night, it was “Biddie” to this airline la .o * ¢ s Credit the squelch of the week to Marusia Sava, who sings in that exciting contralto at the Club Troika, where the other night you might have seen Ivan Zlatin, secre-|- - tary to the Bulgarian Legation, feting Yan Evanoff. ... Off in a corner during the show sat a lad beginning to feel the nutmeg in his egg-nogs . . . sat heckling in foreign tongue, now and then. ... Heckled just as Ma- rusia was sa “My second number will be—" Marusia stopped . - . started again. . Said she, “My sec- ond number will be “Please Go Away and Don't Bother Me.” ... * * *Discovery Halloween night that the noise-makers in one of the Mrs. Burton Musser To Be Guest at Lunch Of Peoples’ Mandate THE Committee for the People’s ' Mandate to End War will enter- tain at luncheon at the Willard Ho- tel Friday at 1 o'clock in honor of Mrs. Burton W.

The Heigh Ho sizzled with . . After Jock McLean had thrown his triumphal party at “Friend- ship” on the Friday eve before the wedding, where Marty Rubin had sung “A Fine Romance” until he was dizsy and Burrus Williams had pounded out that “Show Boat” music for the scribe that still yells for it, most of the bunch went to Pete Macias’ hangout. + + . There Thomas Mason (who mar- ried Jay Iselin's sister) tapped nobly on the keys and had New York's Bar- bara Crim yodling for dear life. .. . There the Reggie Bishops and Bobbie Bishop held a family reunion. . .. There ushers Marshal Rawle, Ellis Humpreys and George (he’ll marry another Iselin shortly) Crawford played tiddlywinks with Phyllis Thompson and other goodlookers.-. . . There hi-jinks reigned till early dawn when it was time to sleep and dream and marry the bride to the groom at hi-noon the following day. ® * ¢ Later, too, after the wedding the town ran hither and yon . . . some to the El Patio, some to the Heigh-Ho, and a great many to Mrs. Kenna Elkins’ celebrated New Hamp- shire chalet, where she entertains more bigwigs than you can shake a stick at. There, for insance, sat Marion Shouse and Christine Eekenren full of -their travels down to Mary Breckenridge's Kentucky school. . . . There, too, sat regal Gertie Webb in royal black, and Au- drey Campbell in knockout gray . . . Down the street and around the cir- cle James Mitchell, jr., played host to various members of the Crieghton Peet household from New York . . . while others ran down in their peram- bulators to a town called Middleburgh, where a young gentleman by the name of Thomas Leiter now holds court. It whs, in other words, a ter- rific week end . . . and what with Sidney playing fine music at the Dwight-Preston Sulgrave Club recep- tion, and later in the week @Tuesday, to be exact) Myron Hofer entertaining most of the town at the Curtis Club, there were a good many of the, better “noblesse” who ducked into their berths and remained there quietly until approximately this very minute, when they all jumped up (most of them, that is) and, stretching wide their arms, yelled: “Hurray for Roose- velt.” Miss Viola McNett’s Engagement Told Mrs. Emory T. McNett of Chat- tanooga, Tenn. announces the en- gagement of her daughter, Miss Viola Leona McNett, and Mr. James G. ‘Young, son of Rev. William C. Young of Takoma Park. The wedding will take place Thurs- day, November 12, at 6 o'clock in the Seventh-day Adventist Church in Ta- koma Park. The Rev. Mr. Young will perform the ceremony. THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D.
