Wainbow Woom, where Lou Behrman occasionally sings the song “Pennies from Heaven.” Each time he gargles the phrase that makes the name, he tosses a handful of cop- pers (not policemen, you funny fel- Jows), out to the dancers. They are supposed to be lucky pennies, or at Jeast each one has a number on the back and the customers who pick up the right numbers are entitled to come back again some time and play, free, for nothing. The sport has become somewhat complicated lately, however, on account of girls who borrow dol-| lar bills from their escorts and have them (the bills, not the escorts) changed into pennies. When Monsieur Behrman yodels the words “pennies from hivven,” the lasses coin a cy- clone all their own. Except their pennies have no special value in the head waiter’s books. * ok % % S0, THE new Ambassador to Rus- sia and Mrs. Davies went up to Troika for a sort of preview > of Muscovite do- ings one night last week. . . .
