He Liked Dave

Mine host Walter Won Herbulis
of Club Michel, was considerably
swelled with pride Thursday night
because he had been the recipient
of visit from Vincent Lopez and
he said some very nice things
about Dave Legum's band. Mr.
Won H. thought it very sweet,
coming from world-renowneo
maestro who ought to know his
dance music.
Indeed, Mr.. Won Herbulis was Sc
elated he made every kind Of an
inducement to have Wesley Eddy
come up to Thomas Circle and I'LL
in as M. C. for the leisure time
before he begins another extended
engagement at the Roxy Theatel
in New York. Wesley said he was
sorry but Atlantic City was call
ing. Instead, he put the Michel
boss in touch with New York
floor entertainer who, he says,
will I'LL. the bill as well as Ken
Murray. That would be filling the
spot, sure enuff. More about this
later.
"Is that Ainsley r. Knight?" in.
quired a young bud of her escort
on the Powhatan skyery on Thurs
day night. That's him with the
corncob pipe" replied her gliding
partner, as they slid by my table,
Man and girl you're both wrong
was the fellow with the gray
whiskers, talking to Ramon and
Maurice Kafka. The fellow with
the corncob pipe was from the
British Embassy, so they told me.
People like that can get away with
these things.
On July 80 it will have been
Mr.. and Mrs. Bill Strickland for
IS years. Yessir, the maestro Of
the Lotus and wife Margaret are
celebrating their crystal anniver'
Sary in a few weeks. And a very
lovely lady is Mrs. Strickland
Congratulations to them both!
Dick Koons, pianist with Bill,
played a round of golf the other
day. That is, he tried to. At the
end of the 18 holes, he Swore off
of all link-walking till January,
1885. We shall see.
On the Shoreham Terrace after
the Roadside Theater on Tuesday
night I noticed the eminent M. D.
DR.. w. C. Gwynn enjoying a late
lobster and the Rock Greek
breezes with Mrs. Gwynn. They
are regular "first nighters'' even
though their lovely daughter,
Louise Harrison, gave up ambi-
tionS to be an actress to become
Mrs. Lawrence Turnure, of New
York.
Gene Vidal, head of Uncle
Sans aviation forces, was host
to a small party and Leo Garlic
was surrounded by a delightful
group listening to his dialect
stories.
Barnee's band, by the way, has
developed into one of crack musi-
cal units hereaboutS. Though not
a dancer, like their rhythms
and their melody. In fact coupled
with the soft winds from the val
ley and the twinkling stars above
I ask nothing more for pleasant
evening.
