Last Thursday 1--WE stood on the
bridge at midnight and the clock was
striking the hour" for we were just
coming home from the Ritz, over in
Brooklyn! Oh, we didn't want to 60
either! No one ever wants to 60 to
Brooklyn and this isn't joke Haven't
you ever noticed how they always say,
"a am going out to Newark to-day"
or I'm going over to Hoboken"? But
always give got to go over to Brook
Ign tonight" And it was in that
spirit that we accepted the invitation
to cross the bridge and see Brooklyn's
Ritz. But it was worth the trip.
There was corking musical show by
Henry Fink called Going Some but
we believe that this week is going to
see new production. But what in
terested us particularly was their filet
mignon. When you go there be sure
to order one
And did you ever taste the straw
berry shortcake at the Algonquin :?
We were invited there Monday night
for dinner and we had to wait an
hour for table. Some of the people
we saw were Valentine Grant. Major
Parkinson, Jeanne Engels, Herbert
Rawlinson, Murray Anderson, Jack
Vincent, Ed Goulding, Clifton Webb
and Constance Talmadge, and when
we finally got in the dining room the
waiter said that the "od-fashioned,
homemade strawberry shortcake with
cream" was all gone We were filed
with woe, but Percy Marmont didn't
care, beca-.se he likes rhubarb pie
better.
And the next time that you drive
out to Blossom Heath Inn be sure and
ask for double torpedo" But have
1t as soon as you get there and not
just before you get ready to drive back
again.
Richard Barthelmes, one of the
Broken Blossoms" took us to dinner
at the Palais Royal Tuesday night, and
Richard hasn't been himself since.
Not that he didn't like it! But he
said it made him so homesick to think
that they didn't have anything like it
in California, and then he took MS TO
the play. 1t was "a Little Journey"
and we had the stage box; and Rich
ard wept as he said: Look at that
scenery flying past In another week
I'll be on my way to California. like
that, and gosh how l dread It'll"
After the theatre we went to the
Montmartre, and Grace Field herself
entertained us. Grace is the most
popular hostess in New York, and she
told us a good joke on herself which
We are sure she won't mind our re-
peating. A soldier came in the club
one night. He had a couple of wound
stripes and was all alone, so Miss
Field volunteered to dance with him.
After foxtrot and tango he took
Miss Field back to her table and said.
You know, you dom, dance so badly.
and If you care to practise with me. I'd
be glad to help you" and thus was
virtue rewarded
And no less 8 person than Hamlet
himself, indorses the lemon meringue
pie which is found at the northeast
corner of Thirty-ninth Street and
Broadway. We can't remember the
name OF the place, but it is just two
steps from the Thirty ninth Street
Theatre, and that is why Hamlet has
his dinner sent iii from there. We had
dinner with him in his dressing room
after the matinee Wednesday, or, rath-
err, we sat opposite him while he ate
and ne gave US taste of the pie Our
own engagement was at Murray's. and
we were fifteen minutes late; so we
rushed in exclaiming, Excuse it,
please! We've just been interviewing
Walter Hamlet in Hampden'
And after this it sounds so sordid TO
announce that special table d'hote
dinner at 81 a cover is served Sun
day nights at Murray's. 1t is nice to
have it all ready to bring in when
you're tired of ordering or are in
hurry. But Wednesday night we had
nothing TO do but eat and listen to
Carroll Clark sing. At least, we had
nothing to do until o'clock, when we
went up to the Park Theatre to see
the new Rothapfel production
Captain Churchill maintains that
he maintains the coolest dining room
IN New York. But it isn't natural
coolth; it is driven in By some sort
of radiator system, which radiates cold
air instead of hot-a much more diff
cult thing.
