Berlins Are Still
Hiding in London
Visit Kit Cat Club

London. Jan. II - (AP) - Irving
Berlin made a surprise appearance
at the Kit Cat Club in the early
hours of Sunday, and sang a song.
says the Graphic. The occasion was
a farewell party to Sophie Tucker.
who has been singing Berlin's and
other American songs in England 1or
the past four months.
Irving sang Remember" which
was dedicated to Ellin Mackay, when
their marriage seemed remote. The
reporter of the Graphic afterwards
cornered the composer in the CLUB,
who said in reply to question: We
have only locked ourselves in the
hotel because we are naturally shy.
But I had to come and say goodbye
to Sophie. She Says made iier sue
cess, but guess 1t is truer that she
made mine. She Is returning to
America Tuesday"
Asked whether he was going to
stay in London, he answered: Yes.
we will stay If we can get around
without anybody looking at u.s."
Mrs. Berlin accompanied her hus-
band to the club. which Is a private
one. What happened there was re-
lated afterward by some OF those
present.
It seems that Berlin's barrier
against receiving missives was brok-
en- at midnight Saturday when he re-
ceived an urgent message from Miss
Tucker who begged Irving to come
and share in her farewell. Berlin was
unable to resist. He and his bride
came out Of the hotel, hailed a taxi
and drove to the Kit Cat Cub which
is a fashionable dance club in the
Haymarket district.
Arriving at the club, Mr.. and Mrs.
Berlin found a brilliant gathering of
actors, actresses, singers and society
personages, very few of whom knew
the couple or noticed their entry.
Mrs. Berlin wore simple pink eve
| ming gown.
After the bride and groom had sat
together for a while watching and
listening, Miss Tucker mounted the
rostrum and said, Il will now ask
Irving Berlin to play some Of his
melodies for us"
All eyes were Immediately turned
upon the couple. Berlin, looking very
shy and uneasy, left the side Of his
| wife and went to the piano. Instead
of playing, however. he decided to
sing and it Is said this was the first
time he had sung here in public.
