After Dark Smart People, Smart Things, Smart Places. By the Spectator. Year eve few of the town’s good- time Charlies could look a night club in the face without shiver- ing, calling for help or diving under & pile of good resolutions to hide. Post mortems of the New Year fracas were held in darkened drawing rooms, the cuts and bruises of revelry were com- pared, bragged about and bemoaned. FOE about four days 'after New Somewhat later inarticulate mumblings | - - turned again into speech, even gen- tlemen who had been the life of the party came up off all fours and walked once more as bipeds. PFinding themselves more or less alive, the survivors at once set forth for the scene of combat, piqued by natural curiosity and the expecta- tion of discover- 48 ing every nitery & smoldering pile of faggots, or at least distinctly . resembling the battle flelds of - Shiloh. Ingtead they beheld Heigh Ho and the May- flower and Troika and the various other confetti - meadows of Jan- uary 1 now spick and span, peo- pled with convalescents like them- selves, populated by a few more Rep- resentatives and Senators and lob- byists now that the open season has been declared for political antics, both on and off the record. Great changes will the lawmakers discern on their return to Washing- ton's more frolicsome pastures in this| year 1937. The Raleigh has given dine | and dance artists another major play- ground in its Pall Mall room, the Metronome room at Wardman Park deserves the same rating, and the la El Patio at the Carlton is that hoteFs contribution to the galety of this Nation. Ramon is no longer at Heigh | Ho, but presides over his own restau- rant, while his former stamping ground continues to flourish as the leading club intime, the Mayflower Lounge and the Shoreham ball room attract notables in droves and such places as the Rainbow Room of the Hamilton, the Ambassador’s Hi-Hat and the Club Volga Boatman, managed by Matt Windsor (no relation), pull in cus- tomers who like everything from low swing to the high gypsy blues. * *x X X WH'KL!: the entemainers customarily get their applause from other quarters and their pretzel money from the management, there are several about town who deserve an extra paddywhack herewith. Among them Eddie Peabody, who stepped In to substitute for Jack Tarr when that fiddler and tooter of saxophones in Sande Williams’ orchestra was injured in an automobile accident. Eddie, one of the most amiable citizens ever to whang a banjo, intended to take his ease on New Year eve but gladly stepped in to help out the Williams ‘band at El Patio when there was need. He did not, however, try the sax. Played banjo instead when there was no fiddling required. Then there is some very fancy violin twiddling being done by Gypsy Kolia at Volga Boatman, and the new Troika chanteuse Zinaida Nicolina has knocked ’em dead in three languages since moving in with the revamped floor show at that spot. We might also include among the leading entertainers a certain head- waiter who walked over to a show gal at his place the other night, tossed a package of matches on the table and said, “Pick ’em up.” She did. “Nope,” said he. “You're not the one. A guy on the telephone says he wants to speak to a left-handed girl named Patsy.” * % k% DIM'ORY of whowuzwhere . . . John Roosevelt and Mr. and Mrs. Elliott Roosevelt at Heigh Ho . . .

RIVERDALE, Md,, January 7.—The Riverdale Town Council last night ap- proved preliminary plans for the new Municipal Building which will be erected on the lot adjacent to the present fire engine house. It was es- timated the building could be built with available funds from the W. P. A. and the town, at a cost not to exceed $15,000. Bernard Evander, architect, was directed to proceed with the plans in the hope that official bids could be obtained soon.
