Pouring In At Shoreham

More than 100 reservations al
ready are on the books of Robert,
the Shoreham Hotel m a tire
d'hotel, for New Year Eve, and

pains or expense is being spared
to make the occasion famous in
party history in washington. The
Shoreham's general manager, Mr..
L. Gardner Moore, is in New York
to engage the best of talent for
the elaborate revue and floor
show to be presented on New
Years eve. Expensive and beauti-
full favors are arriving within a
few days, to await the occasion.

Gala New Year
Party Due at
MayfIower

Some more news about this
New Year Eve party at the May
flower lounge has seeped out. In
fact, the event is already being
discussed around town and, from
all appearances, promises to be
what is usually called a gala af-
fair.
There's going to be a buffet
supper served during the evening
on December 81 Cor January /,
1885, it all depends, a new inno-
vation in public parties.
Then, too, another pleasant fea.
ture is the restriction which will
not permit the gathering to be-
come too large. The festivities
will be limited to the confines of
the lounge itself. When that is
filled no one else will be ad,
mitted. Thus, there will be no
one on the outside, looking in, !"
and everyone will be within walk
ing distance Of the dance floor.
Sidney's orchestra is prepared
to render a variety Of musical
accompaniment with Buddy Har-
mon and Sid Cowen on hand to
sing.
Just because the Mayflower is
already looking ahead a few
weeks does not mean that the
lounge is equally as enjoyable any
other night in the year.

River Bend ExceIs
In Home Cooking

The ever-increasing popularity
of River Bend is manifested in
the fact that despite the present
cold weather the attendance has
increased rather than tapered off.
This massive log house on the Me-
mortal Boulevard just before
reaching Mt. Vernon is probably
the most unique entertainment
place around Washington. Over.
looking the broad expanses of the
Potomac, it commands an unex-
celled view of that beautiful Vir.
ginia countryside. Within is a
large entertainment room with
massive fireplace.
Patrons of River Bend will be
interested in knowing that good
old-fashioned turkey dinner with
all the trimmings will be served
all day Christmas. Next to a

NEIGHBORHOOD PROGRAMS
Moe Baer Is
Big HitAt
Habana

Entertainment. not only with a
capital E, but in italics and big red
letters, is being stressed at that
new Club Habana.
The Habana idea is that when
people go out a-evenings they want
to have not just a mildly pleasant
evening, but one whopping good
time.
In Rhythm Singer Jolly, the
Habana presents both a new and
glamorous personality as we'll as a
Sugary and seductive voice. You
haven't heard anything until
you've heard jolly sing that hilari-
Gus ballad, mo, No, a Thousand
Times, MOI" 1t has about SO verses,
each more high-powered than the
one before.
Nadine and Gerardo, those ex-
traordinarily graceful dancers,
fit perfectly into the Habana
milieu. They are the very en-
bodiment of the spirit of the
South American dance.
Newest device of Moe Baer to
please the clubs very particular
customers is to make special ar
rangements Of their favorite COM
positions. Thus Miss Eleanor
Calvert and her party the other
evening vowed that the top-notch
fillip was given their supper
dance fun when Moe surprised
them with a special arrangement
of Miss Calvert's pet composition,
Ravels "Bolero" in reeds and
strings.
Those Saturday luncheon ses-
sions with music at the Habana
are registering strong popularity.

SUPPER CLUB JOTTINGS
New Acts in Lotus Floor Show

The genial AL Norton who can
do just about everything, returns
to his old job as M. C. this week
at the Lotus and presents a
typical Bobby Sanford Revue
with an excellent group of prin.
cipals.
Included in this list of enter.
tainerS are the Gould Sisters, a
dancing and singing team that is
meeting with great popularity. AS
an extra number Betty, the
blonde member of the team, does
a thrilling acrobatic number.
Something new and different
is offered by the Allen triplets, a
team of young men, all of whom
are over six feet in height. They
do an intoxicated dance and top
thai off with a rhythm tap
number.

Troika Is Cav
In Russian
Manner

Matt Windsor, fiery young
maestro who directs operations at
that Russian restaurant and sup
per club, the Troika, has given the
moguls Of local night spots mark
to shoot at this week with his sec.
ond edition of the Troika Revels,
headed by Nadia, the sensational
European contralto, who is newly
arrived in America to sing with
Chaliapin in the Chicago Civic
Opera.
Believing that that Good Samari-
tan of all entertainment enter
prises, Old Man Public, has grown
weary of the hi-de-ho variety of
music, Maestro Matt has brought
to Washington the idea of mixing
up an evening of fun with dash
OF threatricS that are not forgotten
the moment the doorman tips his
cap and you careen away to bed
in your hack.
And this theory, after a weeks
trial, is being proven nightly by
the vociferous applause of the
Troika guests. With an entire
show. presented three times
nightly, that smacks more OF Car
negie Hall than of night club.
Mr.. Windsor is having trouble
curbing the encores in time for
dancing between shows.
Following Miss Nadia on the
new Troika bill is Eddie Stanis-
loft, reputedly the fastest Russian
whrilwind dancer in the United
States, who also presents routines
with a partner, Miss Sylvia Dylew-
ska. And for instrumental num-
bers, of course there is always
Michel Michaeloff, violinist, who is
at nome on the concert stage as
we'll as dance floor, and Dmitri
Matnyatnikoff, xylophonist.
AS usual Matt Windsor does his
turn singing request numbers as
he makes the rounds with his ac-
cordian and his cheerful grin,
both during the show and at inter-
walls throughout the evening.

Log Cabin Inn Has
Rustic Atmosphere

The Log Cabin Inn goes in for
atmosphere. Everything's more or
less rustic. The orchestra under
the direction of Pat Olmstead and
featuring Duke Gainor, is arrayed
in orange hick shorts and blue
overalls. The huge fireplace, rustic
bar and cozy loft all follow out an
original and pleasing early Amer
lean" motif.
And an unusual feature of the
Log Cabin Inn is the Sunday
twilight concert which specializeS
in old American melodies.

Political prisoners in the Poland

worse treated than prisoners in Po-

District IA, New Jersey. This dis
trict asserts that it "can be relied
upon" TO make its mark within
the next few weeks. Several af-
fairs and house parties are al
ready scheduled, collection lists
are IN the hands of hundreds of
sympathizers, all TWO. branches
and other mass organizations are
making use of collection material.
Some of the affairs that will soon
be held are: One by the Women's
Council, on Oct. "a, at the Work
ers' Center, sic Clinton Ave, New
ark; one by the Jack London Club
of Plainfield, Oct. 20, and a joint
affair by the Russian, Polish and
Slovak branches of the I. w. o., in
Trenton, Oct. 20. A series Of unit
parties, too numerous to mention, -
are also scheduled.
The Milwaukee sections might
also consider the news from the
Hudson River Valley section q2),
in New York. This section has al
ready completed it's quota of $500,
Not only that, but it has given it
self another quota of $780,
What this New York section, with
its widely scattered territory and
farmer residents can do, the other
sections throughout the country can
also do. The quotas are far from
excessive! The Daily Worker is
confident that the $4,000 will be
attained-but for the safety of the
paper it must not be a long, drawn
out campaign!
NOTE:-The Daily Worker de-
sires reports of activities of all
Districts, Sections, Units and in
dividuals in the $4,000 drive.
These reports will be printed.

pointedly confirmed by Comrade E.

Workers are willing to support the
Daily Worker-and they are ready
but, as Comrade Clarke continues

Because "a majority of the mem
bership of the Party" is not work.
ing, the possibilities of collecting
money" are useless in Milwaukee.
The organizational report of the
District shows the result.
The Jewish organizations have
turned in $8-the other organiza-
tions nothing.
Examples of Good Work
If the Daily Worker drive
should fail, the paper would find
itself in sorry position indeed.
But in Milwaukee itself we find
examples of the hard work neces-
sary to make the drive successful.
Unit 1903, in West Allis, held a
house party and turned in more
than Szs--and raised their quota
to $50.
Milwaukee, however, must raise
at least $1l5 every week to keep a
proper pace. 1t cannot evade its
responsibility to fill its $1,000 quota.
If every unit will stage a house
party, if every mass organization
will give an affair, if every Com
munist Party member and Party
sympathizer will contribute to the
fund, and will get others to con-
tribute, Milwaukee will fill its
quota.
Action In New Jersey
1t might take a lesson from
