Cotton Club Has
Gay Program

The famed night spots Of HaF-
lem have a local counterpart in
the Cotton Club, up at Tenth and
U Streets, where Duke Eglin and
his orchestra are the popular tune
dispensers.
The management of this resort
are endeavoring to bring to Wash
ington a different" type of en-
tertainment, and reports from
those who have visited the club
seem to bear this out. Eglin's
orchestra is we'll known to radio
listeners in the East, for they
play regularly over large hookup
every week.
Featured this week in the show
is Gladys West, torch singer and
dancer; Betty Bee, unique art
ist: Peanuts and Rinky," eccen-
trio team and the well-known
chorus, said to be unusually fine
steppers.
Bobby Chapman introduces the
numbers, and also entertains in
his own inimitable manner, and
speeds the production along in
typical sepia style, which is en-
joying such a vogue.

with "Skin" Young and Charlie

Charlie with his baton, accor-
dion and voice is a busy enter

news songs and impersonations
forms the nucleus Of a diver
sified musical program.
Backing up these stars are
Marion wilkins and Jack Meyers
whose famous "Bolero" and "St.
Louis Blues" numbers are just
about the most original and diff.
ferent dance presentations ever
offered at the Michel. Then
there is attractice Nina Allen,

who made good on Broadway and
Rue de la Paix." Victoria Regal

The Michel Orchestra. which is
one Of Meyer Davis crack bands,
is conducted by Charlie Wright,

has the boys in a syncopating
mood, and has made several orig

To Feature
New Hits

With Host Bill Levy'S aSSur-
ance that his recent trip to New
York in quest Of extra fine holi-
day entertainment was a success,
patrons Of the Hangar Club focus
their attention. once more on the
current offerings at the popular
aviation mite club.
For once a sustaining feature
threatens to eclipse a guest artist.
Beginning tomorrow night, Babe
Frank, singing drummer Of the
High Fliers, will introduce to
Washington, Jerry Levinson's
latest hit, "OP Pappy."

didn't know, is the lad who turned

Nothing daunted, Weldon Barr
and Honey" Eyes she Isl Dalzell,
"leg-o-maniacs," will startle even
the most complacent of nigh t
clubbers with their sensational
novelty dances.
Joan Moss has successfully
secuted about for new numbers,
suited to her deep blues voice,
and will brighten her M. c. cor
ner with her original renditions.
AL Davis continues to lead his
High Filters on their popularity
flight, featuring all manner of
soloists, tricky interpretations
and an impromptu Skit or two.
Proof that the charm of the
Hangar Club has taken with avia-
ton folk was provided last
Wednesday night when Nal Free
burg, who that morning had re-
ceived from the President the air
mail fliers medal Of honor, en-
tertained a party Of four.
Attracts Stage Folks
He expressed the wish that
someone would open a similar club
back near his home airport at ST.
Paul.
But the Hangar Club attracts
other than fliers - many others,
including theatrical folk and just
folk who like an evening Of swell
entertainment, made more enjoy
able by delicious food and pleas
ant surroundings.
Proximity to the center Of the
city (next to Washington Arport)
and plenty Of parking space are
attractive items which must be
considered.
Speaking of considerations,
Christmas and New Years ewes are
just around the corner-with res
ervations going fast. Bookings
are being made for a dusk to dawn

Record Crowds at
Shoreham's Dance!

Approximately $4,000 per-
sons have attended the terrace
and supper dances at the
Shoreham Hotel since January
/ last. This is the largest at
tendance in any year since the
hotel opened and exceeds by
several thousands any similar
period.
The management of the
hotel believes that the 1884
figures will top this high mark
and with this in mind is con-
templating the installation of a
rolling stage so that the fea-
ture acts may be visible to all
persons in the main dining
room which has to be used
when the ballroom is filled.
The featured star brought
this week from New York to
entertain at the supper dances
is Jean Mona of the musical
show, "Strike Me Pink" This
is Miss Mona's first appearance
at any supper dance. She is
presenting her feature dances
which won her fame in the
musical production.

New Year, the biggest cele-

everybody, is casting its shadow

plans to make this first New

Quieter Auto Horns

In 1930. according to noise abatement statistics, 97 per cent of the automobile horns of the nation were raueous and terri lying A year later the percentage had been reduced to 93, through cooperation ot manufacturers with groups seeking to re- duee the amount of unnecessary street noises, Probably there are still fewer "raueous and terrifying horns today. This is gratify- ing progress. It is necessary to have some means of warning pedestrians and other drivers of cars approach, but it is not necessary to have the warning so loud and harsh that it inspires panic instead of caution.
 Improving the tone of motor horns - and why not street car gongs, too? - is only part of the job. Something must be done about the human nuisance who scorns to make proper use of his horn and goes rushing along street or highway blaring it loudly at every intersection. driveway or motorist he approaches. Something must be done. too. about the pest who substi-. tutes his horn for doorbell, sitting behind the wheel and honking for attention. Let us have quieter horns and less nervous use of them.
