Dark Things, Smart Places By the Spectator. ‘Crade Mark Registered United States Patent Office, Several (two, to be exact) new musical aggregations Lave turned up in town since Ye Spectator’s last re- port on the state of the Nation as viewed from a table in the far corner, Pplease. And had the table been in the far corner last Friday night, the re- port on Les Brown, who has brought his crew to the Wardman Park’s Metronome room, might be more co- herent. As it turned out the table was right in front ot the again- enlarged bandstand, on that side on which were ensconced three fellows with trumpets and three fellows with trombones, firing-point-blank. This was all right, except scmetimes these six lads would stand up, brace them- selves and—wham! The jitterbugs and swing addicts, who were not sitting at the table in the very mouths of the cannon of the brass section, seemed very happy with Les Brown’s proceedings. Some jitter- bugs down at the far end of the room seemed especially happy. Any- one at the far end of the room would have been happier. The report on the other music- makers, the trio known as the Three Freshmen, who have replaced Eddie Mayehoff at the Cafe Caprice, must needs be briefer, for the inspection of them was briefer. Let it be said that they sing much more than pass- ing well, both singly and together; that they can make neat rhythms for the dancers; that they have some special after-midnight ditties; that we do not think they are fresh- men at all, * * * Waifs and strays . . . Most interested spectator while Marion Wilkins was doing her dances at Helen Hamilton’s Club Troika always was Vanya Orlik, who can dance a little bit himself. Most jealous spectator while Vanya was doing his dances was the young lass who dances too and bitterly resented the fact that any one in the world has the easy sense of balance that Vanya has . . . Asking who in addi- tion to Carr and Don of the Madril- lon plays “I Walk With Music” got results. Russ Cullen sings it handsomely at the Pall Mall room of the Raleigh. Burrus Willlams looks up and tosses it right in our teeth when we enter La Salle Versailles . Bill Slocum, WJSV publicist, sits in O’Donnell’s, brooding over a steak sandwich. “I can't figure it out,” he says. “The National Symphony folds and we get mobbed with requests to Glenn Miller broadcasts. It's a commentary, that's what it is; a commentary on something.” Charles Daly calms him by reminding him of the announcer on one of those late recorded programs, who the other evening announced a half hour of classical music, then played a group of entirely different selections, re- ceiving not one phone call from an irate listener. ¢ ¢ * Party tonight . .. That “Fete du Poisson d’Avril,” to be held at Normandy Farms, this being, no matter what the name leads you to believe, just a party fashioned after the traditional welcoming of April's fish by the French peasants. Should be quite an affair if all goes as Marjory Hendricks has it planned. There will be fishing for all, yes fishing, right in the middle of that lnhlrhln( the % EIGHT MARTIN GIRLS Scintillaiing Beauti: Lovely Costus gay dining room and there will be a lot of entertainment, with “The Three Little Fishes” done in French as the evening’s theme song. * * * Festivity at the Troika: well-known White House corre- spondent, an Hawailan lei about his neck, stands while Dina Larina sings that toast, gulps his drink in royal Russian style, crashes the glass gallantly on the table. . . . * * ¢ The lads in George Duffy’s orchestra, some one has noticed, wear uniforms with the same color scheme as those of the Shar-Zad waiters. George goes white-tie every night that he may be distinguished from the rest. . . . White-tie-and did not work out so well one recent night, however, for a certain visiting prince, whose name we democrati- cally seem to have forgotten. He stood, gleaming and immaculate in the Shoreham Blue room doorway, awaiting attention. In rushed a pair of not-so-blue-blooded would- be customers, asked the gentleman of royal lineage to show them to a table for two, please. . . . Newest inspiration of Europe’s nightmare is the “Blackout.” It's an Arthur Murray dance creation, being per- formed nightly in the Pall Mall room by Ethel Fistere and her cohorts. . . . Newest inspiration of Tschaikowsky is a dance tune Sasha Lukas has arranged for his Club Troika orchestra, from some of Mr. T.’s ballet music. . . . From the Glen Echo Park publicity department comes an announcement that Paul Kain’s debut in the Spanish Garden Ballroom was a success. Underlined in flaming red in the story: “The crowd was so great that jitterbugs and dancers were compelled to go to the balconies to find dance space. Yes, sir, they were on hand to give Maestro Paul Kain a real welcome.” That'’s a nice distinction, at that— jitterbugs and dancers. . . . Newest swingaroo done by the Carr and Don orchestra at the Madrillon is “Hallelujah,” from “Hit the Deck.” It’s just the title for those lads to toy with; when they hit the deck it is no longer a game of chance.

Crippled Youth Schooling On Permanent Basis Asked Tne Sixteenth Street Highlands Citizens’ Association last night voted to ask congressional appropriations for education of crippled children to be placed on a permanent basis. The vote was unanimous. The appointment of John Russell Young to the Board of Commis- sioners was indorsed and Mr. Young’s “high civic interest” praised by the group. The association also indorsed a motion by William V. Mahoney proposing that an intecnational exposition be held in Washington in 1943 to commemorate the 150th an- niversary of the founding of the Nation’s Capital. Charles D. Hyer, secretary, an- nounced that Commissioner Hazen has approved parking restrictions on Colorado avenue near the intersec- tion with Fourteenth street N.W. as requested by the association. R. G. Merryman was elected treasurer of the group to fill the post made vacant by the recent death of James Maupin. W. E. Stoutameyer presided over the meeting, held in Brightwood School.
