Tomorrow night is the night Don Bestor brings his orchestra, plus Penny Lee, who is a honey if her photog- | rapher isn't kidding, to the Met- | ronome Room of the Wardman Park Hote]. Mr. D. B, as if you had to be told, is the lad who was the foil and music-maker for Jack Benny a few years back when Mr. J. B. was inventing that business of kidding the sponsor on the radio: Lately you have heard him (Don B) on the radio and on many records. Up the Madrillon’s sleeve, if you would look there, you will find a plot to make the town's night life look just like New York's. For the Madrillon plans to inaugurate the two-orchestra, continuous music evening in the town, lmportmg soon a Conga crew to alternate with Carr and Don. * * * Summer’s Here Note . . . Club Troika has dusted off its air-condi- tioning system and has it now in operation. And the lack of smoke and humidity makes the spot even more popular these nights. The Carlton’s Shar-Zad has its tempera- ture gadgets in operation, too, as of last night. * Too Many Girls Note . . . Any | one looking for definite proof that i’Washington's feminine population | outnumbers its masculine, should | have been at Cafe Caprice Satur- | day eve. Boy and girl in a party of four bowed polite farewells to | the other couple, left. Within 20 | minutes, no more, he was back | with a brand new girl friend. * * * Garfield Swift, the baritone | who is making the Shoreham Blue Room a happier place to visit these | nights, demonstrated one of the | values of coricert training on his | opening night. Two minutes before {the show the Blue Room’s amplify- {ing system went phlooey, refused to amplify. So, sans microphone, Mr Swift walked to the middle of the floor and just sang, proved he needed no mechanical contrivances Thur;day BONELESS FRESH POTOMAC SHAD With ROE. 2 Vegetables, Bread, Butter 85‘ ISH STEAK 75¢ BROILED FRESH JUMBO SHAD ROE With BACUN, 2 Vegetables, Bread, Butter 85c NAYLOR'S “Best Seafood in Town” 12th and M Ave. 10th and Maine Ave. S.W. —~5Y G;filf//wzwzze Roow presents tomorrow Don PENNY LEE sne 100 Mo mum W/ CONNECTICUT AVEs¢ WO WITH- JOHNNY RussE; G2 Per person thru Thy CE S rs:s]so}‘n,-sZoosa',‘/ [y \3_1_(\ LEY RD.e PHONE COLUMBIA 2000 Last Time Tonight-Les Brown’s Music * Hearty x in the x * * £ OC'U[§H1 BUDDY HARMON TED ALEXANDER JOHNNY SHAW PAUL IM8ODY FRANK COVIELLO LINDA CARROLL Frep panrk o * WASHINGTON'S most talked-about DANCE BAND % GLEE € coC\'\TQIE HOUQ 4 * firmament ' ¥ o * » LuB = 4 P .

Funny about people. The Rhythm Boys at the Cafe Caprice play for 15 minutes to an empty dance floor, finally one couple is brave and in 15 seconds the dance floor is packed. . .. The week’s diplo- mat is Joe, Shar-Zad's head waiter. A news lad who had been invited there the other night wasn't sure he should join his party, being fresh from work and clad in tweeds, with & sweater where his vest should have been. “That’s all right,” said Joe. “Very few people here are white-tie tonight.” . . . And the pessi- mist of the week is Dick Lam, the Lotus manager. Asked how busi- ness was Saturday night he answer- ed, “Just fair. We were full, but turned very few people away.” * ¢ * More M. G. R. . . . Maybe you shouldn't say that Bert Bernath, the Pall Mall Room's orchestra leader, doubles in brass. But he is a law- yer, too, and not above working for a client’s divorce in court in the mornings, then playing romantic | melodies for other folk at luncheon. { He's a vicious circle, that’s what he |is. .. . Funny about that syndicated columnist who has always claimed | there was no night life in Washing- ton. One visit to Helen Hamilton’s | Club. Troika and he was telling the he tells about things, that Troika was one of the finest places there is. told him long ago. . .. Favorite bus- still is spending Sunday eve listen- ing to Carr Van Sickler and Don Shook’s Orchestra at the Madrillon. |+ . . Zombie experts about town are saying that those at Harvey's are the zombiest. . . . Local gal makes good in the big city note: Grace Shannon, whom you have heard | pianoing at the Neptune Room and | other spots about the village, opens | at the Terrace Room of the Hotel New Yorker May 9. .. ¢ * * Aside to Bill (Lotus) Strick- land . . . Please call it either the conga or la conga. Not the la conga. Supper Club Notes Ancher Room—Lounge at the An- napolis Hotel; no dancing, but enter- tainment by Matt Windsor and his accordion.

Strange Hollywood: Paramount studio is only a few blocks from the cafe it is dramatiz- ing in “A Night at Earl Carroll’s.” But when it came time to film scenes of the entrance it rebuilt the entire front of the structure on the back lot. A producer explained that it was too noisy on busy Sunset boule- vard for picture making. Then he waited two days for the wind to die down so he could make the shots on the lot. The breeze whip- ping wire struts set up a hum- ming which the sound technician said came through the headphones like a siren. . Social Hygiene Society | To Hear Dr. H. H. Young | Dr. Hugh H.
