To Fly BY Plane
Rudy Vallee, one Of the great
est figures in the entertainment
world, will appear at the Shore
ham opening. He will fly down
from New York in specially
chartered Amelia Earhart tri-
motored plane, together with
the members of his orchestra.
The obtaining of Vallee for the
fiesta occasion Of the Shoreham
debut was attended by the over
coming Of almost insuperable diff
ficultieS. The world famous young
star is under contract to both
the Paramount Publix Theater in
Brooklyn and the National Broad
casting Company, also he appears
| nightly at the Villa Vallee, In New
York, after midnight. Special ar.
rangements had to be made with
each Of the three important In
tereStS represented.

woods most famous beauties, viii

will present a de luxe program
twice during the evening. Other
notable entertainers Of the revue
include the "Three Demons" the
startling trio Of adagio dancers
featured in Earl CAROLS "Fior-
etta;" Layn1an and King, Broad
way favorites noted for the chain
| lightning tempo Of their dances.
And also the Chester Hale girls.

The Shoreham Orchestra is di.
rected by Paul Fidelman, lead
er especially favored by Washing
ton society and accomplished in
the intricacieS Of modern dance
tempo.
Rudy Vallee has achieved what
is undoubtedly the most aStound.
ing and tremendous success Of
recent years in the amusement
world. He has crooned his way
into the heart of the world, onto
the silver screen, and, incidental
ly, into the possession of a great
fortune. The individual and soft
ly tempoed Vallee music struck
the keynote of national popular
ity when the young leader step
ped into the spotlight of a cafe
two years ago and crooned Deep
Night"
St|r In FOllies
Lima Basquette has many good
gifts for just one slim, dark-eyed
girl. Startling beauty, dramatic
power and an astonishing flair
for style have carried her to the
heights Of achievement in few
short years.
Like so many screen stars,
Miss BaSquette is a graduate Of
the "Follies." Her smartneSS and
good looks attracted the eye OF
Zeigfeld, and from the front row
Of his world-known ''Follies," it
was but a step to the Hollywood
studios. Lima BaSQuette proved
to be real actress as well as a
dancer. No long waiting for
recognition for her. She was
promptly given leads and later
starred in a number CT produc-
tions. Her Shoreham appearance
marks the first occasion when
she has personally appeared In
Washington.
The lovely Chester Hale girls
combine swanlike grace with an
ability worthy of young athletes.
Their intricate dance formations
and specialtieS are so easily ana
lightly performed that it is hard
to realize the difficulty Of these
terpsichorean feats. They leave
the audience fairly a-flutter with
enthusiasm.
Audiences at Earl CAROLS
'Fioretta" sat up and gaSped
nightly at the unheard-of stunts
Of the Three Demons" the most
daring trio Of adagio performers
ever presented on the New Yor8
stage. This indomitable three
some will add thrills a-plenty to
the Shoreham revue.
Fifteen Musicians
Another piquant novelty win be
the nimble and original dance
numbers Of Layman and King,
the newest hit entertainers Of
Manhattan. The whisking velocity
of their dances is really indeScrib-
able. They have been cleverly
named "the chain-lightning step
pers."
One of the finest features of
the evening, the new Shoreham
