''Swanee" Registers

A 100 per cent success is being
registered by "Swanee," the new

launched by Meyer Davis. The
beauty of the place and the in
imitable swing of the music fur

Sam Brown, have made it Il pre-
mier attraction for the dancing
set of Washington.
A first-class vaudeville act is
now being presented several

ton. This innovation has proved
highly successful as affording
both restful and amusing In
