This paragraph is going to be dedi-
Gated TO Gil Boag, and we are going to
ask why some one doesn't nickname
him midas"
Wasn't he the king who turned every
thing to gold when he touched it!
Well, that is what we mean. Mr..
Boag has our sincerest admiration, and
no one asked US to write this, either.
Witness the success of the then Ian
guild and fading Moulin Rouge a
couple of seasons ago. Witness the
vast popularity of the Club Mont
martre which Mr.. Boag handled, and
then the Little Club and now the Green
wich Village Follies. Mr.. Boag hasn't
yet told us that the Village Follies are
his, but we have heard it, and we be-
lieve it because it looks like Boag
success.
The young women Of Evelyn Hub
Garden Dance Palace, have formed
Giants Rooters Club. They see each
game the McGraw team plays, except
those on Saturdays, Sundays and holi
days when sessions are held at the
Dance Palace.
With one hand we are writing this,
while with the other we are tanning
with a purple lowered fan bearing the
name "Hotel Claridge" on it, We have
just returned from luncheon at that
hostelry given by the Paramount peo
pie to Sydney Chaplin to wish him
godspeed. Mr.. Chaplin is about to set
sail for Paris, where he is going to
make the first of his big, new five
reelers. Everybody was present at the
we could recognize only Alison Smith,
the little girl who writes such Sane
reviews for "The Globe" and Robert
Welsh, of the "Telegram" and points
East. A fashlight picture was taken,
but it is doubtful if this will reveal
anything more definite.
We wish Billie Burke would tell US
what her little dinner was all about
out in the summer house of the
Japanese garden at the Ritz Carlton.
We were pretty we'll occupied ourself
at the other end of the garden, but we
found time to observe that it had
something to do with black cat in a
Japanese bird-cage trimmed with
violet and pink sweetpeas. Come,
bag.
The Monday musicales, which used
to be held in the ballroom of the
Hotel Bellevue-S -Stratford in Philadel-
phia, will be resumed November "a.
Some of those who will be heard are
Nine. Galli-C Curci, John Mccormack,
Nine. Frances Aida, Alfred Corto,,
Carolina Lazzari, Rudolph CAM and
Edward Lankow.
James Corbett, pugilist, actor and
motion picture star, gave luncheon
at Rector's on Wednesday and we had
the seat of honor. Among other things

would like this beer" he answered, SO
the next time we go down there we
are going to see what kind of a beer

connoisseur). The Shelburne is the
hotel where Lieutenant Tim Brymn

Word comes to US. that the Waldorf
Astoria roof has never been so crowd
ed as it is this season But that
doesn't interest us nearly so much as
the fact that the Prince of Wales is to
stop there when he comes to New York.
And our interest is not in the Prince
OF Wales, but in the good-looking boy
IN uniform who has been seen so often
In America via the screen. Not so long
ago one of the young stars, whose papa
o"''" ehSo,iCo anu tHtdCrCS ana the
atres, told us that she thought she
would rather like to marry the Prince
because "The Princess of Wales" would
look so we'll in electric lights. But she
must have. changed her mind, for a
couple of months ago she suddenly
married some one else, and now how
Is the Prince going to feel!
You need pay no attention to the
Biblical warning against princes if YOU
are in search of a dancing partner. for
Prince Aage of Denmark is a marvel
1ous dancer, and to this we can testify.
He likes the Ritz Roof to dance in.
