Hangar Club To
.BeWintersarten'

Blow hot, blow cold-Beaming
Bill Levy, impresario of the
Hangar Club Roof Garden, the
Airport Swimming Pool, and other
projects too numerous to men
ton, is always doing business.
When it's too hot for anything
else the populace swarms to his
pool for a splash or two; when it
grows too late or too cool for
Splashing they adjourn to the
Hangar Roof for a dance, drink,
or a snack; and when it rains
they just move into the Hangar
Club proper, cozy and attractive,
with its own dance floor, and
watch the shows or dance to the
music of Howard PyleS and his
VirginianS.
And now, as final crushing
blow to the bad weather devils,
who haunt all amusement resorts,
Bill, aided and abetted by his
quieter brother Bernie, are under
taking plan to turn the Hangar
Club and Airport Pool into one of
the most elaborate wintergardens
this side Of Lapland.
Meanwhile, while the heat and
clear nights continue, the roof is
continuing to pack 'em in" AL
though the low price policy has
become standing institution
with the Hangar, it's entertain
ment features have been in
creased. Two complete floor
shows are presented nightly and
dancing on WaShington's largest
dance floor is from 10 to 2.

Scott Jarrett S Band Provides Music
At MARYLAND Club Gardens

Maryland Club Gardens, the
swanky dine and dance spot, just
one mile past the District line on
the Marlboro Pike, is one of
Washington's most popular after
dark rendezvous.
Here is a gorgeous rendezvous
for cool breezes, dancing, swim

sitting around while Scott Jar
rett's orchestra turns out soothing
strains.

Michel Whoopee

Arch Macdonald, ace radio
sports commentator, was an i'm
promptu entertainer at Club
Michel the other evening. Mr..
Macdonald raised his voice in
song, the audience applauded
and he gave three encores before
they let him go.
If you've ever listened to his
reporting of the baseball games,
you will remember Arch'S sing
ing voice. For whenever the
Griffs are in need of help, he is
wont to indulge in a musical
moment or two. He's been Groom
ing quite bit recently, I'm
afraid.
Helen Ault, winner of the
Hollywood Hotel' contest in this
division, was another guest who
offered a number or two. AS
did the winners of the second
and third awards, Estelle Long
ley, of Atlantic City, and Kath-
ryn woodward, of Durham, N. c.
Among the many customers
who find the Art Godfrey-Club
Michel combination an irresistible
lure were Mr.. and Mrs. Bishop
P. Hill, Senor Don Juan de
CardenaS, Mr.. and Mrs. William
Jeffries Chewing, Clifton Aires,
and in a large party were Peggy
Barker, Betty Hartz, Betty Gre
man, Mary Senate Howes, Betsy

by a magnificent Spanish villa,
has proven to be very popular
for day and night swimming. The
pool is also used in presenting
entertainers. Instead of using
the dance floor, a stage on the
other side of the water is utilized,
and the entertainers perform in

BeIasco Talk

~ iSSSO :
To revert to the economies Of
this dine-and-dance amusement.
With summer we'll on, the outdoor
spots have been thriving.
OF course, good portion of
the Washington pleasure public
is now vacation-minded, but this
was the best July experienced in
some seasons from a business
standpoint and despite the absen-
tees, touring and at the beaches.
the August count-up so far has
been away above average.
Mr.. Cochran's ambitious plans
to convert the Belasco Theater
into WaShingtonS Casino de
Paree have the town by the ears.
Some think he is pointed towards
making young fortune this fall
and winter.
Others want to see the re-
modelled playhouse first, wonder
whether there is enough loose
money among resident patrons
and enough bank roll visitors to
put the venture on the right side
of the ledger. Time will produce
the right answer.

Bill Levy, of the Hangar Club,
found the correct combination to
attract crowds and his Potomac
Basin Lido is humming, day and
night. The pool gets 'em and the
nightly throngS upstairs on the
dance floor have been of turn-aWay
proportions, particularly on week
ends.
Looking toward the days when
there is a tang in the air and
the leaves are through falling,
Mr.. Levy plans to convert his
pool into a skating rink, with a
view especially of attracting ice
hockey crowds.
Indeed, Mons. Levy hopes to
be the proprietor of WaShington's
first wintergarden, since his reno
vationS for the cold months in
clude CHASING in the terrace and
dance floor, thus making his rem
devious for diversion an all-year-
round resort.

The Army and Navy set go for
the Shoreham. Col. and Mrs.

including, among others, Ferdi-
nand Pecora, of the new Securi-
ties and Exchange Commission;
George Henry Payne, of New
York, newly appointed member
of the Federal Communications
Commission and former tax COM
missioner of New York, had
among his guests recently the
ever-popular Mr.. and Mrs. w.

on the terrace, as are the most at
