The Washington times., 1934-11-10

in the way Of tranSplanting a real,
warm South American atmosphere
into the new club is something
great.
There Is going to be a gay party
and christening on or about NO"
vember %. So jot down that date.
Moe Baer will be on hand to lead
the band, and there is a certain
Titian-haired young lady who is a
featured vocalist, and who halls
from Cleveland. Strange as 1t
seems, her christened name is
Jolly.
Tuesday night there was a great
farewell party for Crawford and
Caskey down at Michel. Most OF
the goings-on took place around
three in the morning at the rail-
way station.
About 10 people left the club in
high spirits in three cars. There
was a bartender in each car to
make the trip to the station seem
much quicker.
A Close Call
Well, it happened that two
trains came in at the same
time but bound for different
places. One only stayed 10 min
utes and the other half an hour.
One couple in their enthusiasm
to see some friends that were
passing through hoped on the
wrong train and before they re-
covered, Alexandria appeared on
the scene. It was either jump
or New orleans and they chose
the former, landing in a pile
of coal, escaping without a scratch.
BY the time they got back, the
dance team was Dallas bound and
eventually the Sylvan Club.
Joy Dixon, who is appearing on
the Club Michel floor this week,
reminisced a. bit recently about
a star of fragrant memory, WeS-
ley Eddy.
It seems about five years ago
she appeared at the Palace with
him as a member of the Jay
Sisters team. They were both
new and nervous. She could not
express how sweet Wesley treated
all on the program. Joy said
that her greatest thrill in life
came when he showed and ex-
planned to her all about the
japanese cherry blossoms when
they were in bloom. Just an
other item to help prove that
Wesley is still missed.
Merrigrams
The reason Marty Rubin'S voice
was not heard in his usual songs
on Tuesday was due to visit to a
dentist. Marty came to work that
night, but seven stitches in a
swollen gum prevented any warb-
ling.
If you want to hear something
really swell, drop in at the BAN
boo room at the willard and listen
to Frank Meyers play Rhapsody
in Blue" on the old piano. IT'S
truly great.
Burrus williams up at Heigh.Ho
wrote to New York and obtained
special permission of the COPY
right own rs to play might and
Day. on radio program. He did
this for Miss Patsy Brewer.
Harold PyleS, who leads the
band at the Hangar Club, has a
saxOphOne player, John Kelvin,
who is an .rtist of the highest
degree. He has studied piano for
Is years, but refus IS to play any
jazz on it, fearing he will lose his
touch. Thus the sax.
Barnee finally cracked. Work
ing every night from 8 to 2,
Cotton Club from 2 until the
doors closed, business and re.
hearSalS in the morning, and
gue1t tea dancing in the after
noon. But this week he has paid
for it by having a touch of
grippe. When will he crack
again?
Stand by, We gentlemen, for
there is q magnanimOus bit of
personality by name, Jerry
O'Brien, holding forth down at
Michel who is looking for a huS-
band. Washington affects her
that way, she says. And money
is not necessary.
Henry Anderson, headwaiter at
Club Michel, can present a list of
hotels in Washington and other
cities in the East where he has
