You're nuts.” “I am not nuts. Before they drink it they put sugar in it. I could give ’em cider and they'd never know the difference!” ® * ¢ If anything else went on that eve at that particular spot, you'll never learn about it here . .. on ac- count of the mere thought of some-———— _ body sugaring | imported chamw pagne drove Ye Spectator out for air . . . and he was found at 7:30 the next morning wandering mood- 11y about the lawn | of Scott Circle. . trying to figure 8 way for these people to cross sugar cane with grape vines and = raise a private brand of sparkle water for their own private and particular use. * * » But down at the Raleigh's sleek and elegant Pall Mall room nary & soul was putting sugar in champagne . . . Certainly not the Dennis Hoeys, he being the Mr. Rochester of Kath- arine Hepburn's “Jane Eyre” ... on hand with a drama scribe, the scribe’s wife and handsome 14-year-old daugh- ter, by far the most poised person in the room, her dignity unperturbed by her first night club evening . . . Mr. Hoey asking Eddie Elkins to play | all the “Null Cahrd chunes,” being an | Englishman . . . Eddie Elkins playing them, being a smart musician . . Mr. Hoey also giving Bill Owen point- ers on the business of singing, he having had experience in opera. ® * » There is a pair of news lads in town who roll over and purr for the | Coward tunes, too . . . Started out a night or so ago to hear as many as possible as often as possible . . . Made Johnny (ZIadrillon) Shaw rip out with | ell of 'em he knew, which was plenty, | even including that “Mad About the | Boy,” then went to work on Sande | (El Patio) Williams, who also tossed off plenty of Mr. Coward's pleasant magic in the key of C . . .
