May put Brook Johns to work entertaining, too, though this does not seem to be definite yet. . . . The Washington Roof, favorite vantage point for looking out on the Treasury, the Monument and other things, and for sniffing a breeze, will have strolling musicians to sing to you. ... Barnee, the Shore- ham’s Barnee, is reported receiving estimates on a new white tail coat, that he may look the more re- splendent on the Shoreham Terrace podium. ,. Manager Dan Wathey of the Roger Smith Hotel is hiding in a corner these days, thinking up new things for that popular summertime sendezvous which every one still calls the Powhatan Roof. Suggestion to Mr. W.: Why not call it the Powha- tan Roof? . .. Maryland Club Gar- dens ought to be laying plans, too, for moving out onto that terrace be- side the swimming pool. * * * Aside to Paul Kain: If you really want a honey of a singer for your music-making at Glen Echo’s Spanish Garden ballroom, get in touch with Adele Van, who just finished a long term at the Loange it's a pleasure. | * ® * Faces in the Bar Room Doors . . » That was Noel Coward at the Carlton’s cocktail lounge Monday eve, regaling friends with tales of | London blackouts and the latest news from Europe. . . .

At any rate our informant at the Madrillon says he can always judge the number of out-of-towners in the spot. The patrons who peer about the room, then ask the waiter where it is, are visitors; those who know already are regular customers. . . . Francita, the Shoreham Blue Room’s dancer, is taking the ringsiders back to their high school days, recreating roman- tic moonlight dances right in the Blue Room. She just passes about phosphorescent flowers, then when the lights go blue all is a moonlight glow and romantic, too. . . . Wonder if that's true, that La Salle Ver- sailles Singer Juanito Valencia’s first name really is Hansel. ¢ ¢ ¢ Newest Ethel Fistere dance at the Raleigh’s Pall Mall Room fis “Put Your Little Foot” (who, me?). It is, incidentally, “designed for group amusement.” Like that finale of the Lotus show, when certain of the customers are inveigled into doing the conga, an interlude de- signed for the group amusement of those in the audience who keep their wits and stay at their tables . . . Bands to come after Don Bestor at the Metronome Room: Reggie Childs, then Little Jack Little, finally it may be Tommy Dorsey, though the Wardman Park doesn’t know about this yet, it says with a straight face . . . We also wonder if it is true that Barnee refuses to play “Tuxedo Junction” at the Blue Room unless you are refined and ask for “Dinner Jacket Depot.” ¢ ¢ * Just behind the bandstand at La Salle Versailles is a door leading | into the outer spaces, or an alley or something. Burrus Williams stepped out there for a breath of air between tunes the other night, encountered an old Uncle Tom character astride a soap box. “Howjadoo,” he greeted Burrus. “Good evening,” Burrus answered. “That’s very nice music.” “Thank you.” “Yep, I come up here almost every night just to sit and listen. I cer- tainly enjoy it.” “That's fine,” said Burrus. glad you like it.” “Yep, I enjoy it very much. But I guess I've had enough entertain- ment for tonight. With that he picked up his soap box, bade Burrus good night, departed down the alley. “Im; * ¢ * Having promised not to say a | word about it, we will just tell you | without mentioning any names and let you brood on the week's irony. One of the local singers has just lost her job—because she is, of all things, too pretty. Seems the girls who attended the spot didn't like the way their escorts listened so intently as the lass sang; just couldn't stand the competition.
