Dancing, Pool at
Maryland Club
Gardens

A nearby eating place upon
which a small fortune has been
expended this year lies just over
the Maryland line a scant 20 min
utes drive from the National Cap
itai. This is the Maryland Club
Gardens, an attractive place
where the patron way dine and
dance or enjoy a delicious lunch
con and a few hands Of bridge,
following, in an atmosphere of a
private club.
The dance floor is on a wide
open-air terrace and for lovers Of
the open further fun is promised
in one of the largest and most
beautiful swimming pools in the
country. All this, of course, pre-
supposed dance music Of the best
and foods of unsurpassed quality
and preparations, both of which
are no finer in anticipation than
they are in realization.

Famous Aviatrix Now Connected
With Ramon's Garden Resort

An aviatrix extraordinary is the
ambitious Miss Helen Cavis, who
is working in Ramon's Garden at
night and getting additional fly
ing experience during the day.
Miss CaviS will bring glory to
Washington If she continues her
unusual record in air races. There
is every reason to believe that she
will because, though she is only
twenty, and has been flying a
Scant two years, her total flying
hours and two races are worthy
of note.
Her first competition was last
May 6 at the Langley Day races
here in which she finished second
in her event. At Roosevelt Field
in New York on June "a, Miss
Cavis won the Annette Gibson
3rd Annual Woypan's race against
a field OF thi1 Zen other women

cost $4,000, and there was no
chance that the spot would catch
on.
If you read your Broadway col
umns you know what happened
to the Casino de Paree. It turned
out to be the biggest money
maker in the cafe line since Texas
Guinan and her El Fey club.
Everybody connected with the
establishment made a small for
tune-and it will surely be the
center of Americas night life
next winter.
The wiseacres said they guessed
Billy Rose was a mighty lucky
guy....
A few weeks ago, within the
four walls of the Manhattan
Theater, Rose opened another
venture. This one is called the
BILLY Rose Music Hall"-and
each letter in the huge sign out
side the place is bigger than Billy,
himself. The place is already q
sensational success.
Like the Casino de Paree, the
Music Hall offers you a great
variety Of things at very tempt
ing rates. You eat, you drink,
you dance. You can see the un-
draped girlieS in the Wishing
Well, and you can visit the old
time saloon in the basement. You
can have your fortune told, your
palm read, and your face shaved
by the barber who is always in
attendance.
AS a matter Of fact, the only
thing you can't do in the Music
Hall is to be in the Casino de
Paree at the same time. This
annoys Mr.. Rose as much as it
does the Broadway columnists-
and he'll probably build a tunnel
for us before long,.
What are Bily's plans? Well,
he's thinking of retiring again
so that he can do a Broadway
circus. Don't laugh; it's true.
Rose thinks the old circuses are
out-of-date and, if he can lay his
hands on half a million dollars,
he'll do a new type of circus that
will startle the Nation.
The wiseacres, of course, will
grin at that last paragraph. Be-
lieve it or not, the young man is
still not accepted by the wise
men. And none understands it
better-nor relishes it more
than Rose, himself.
Talk about popularity, Mark"
he said the other day, II re-
ceived 212 wires on the opening
night of my Music Hall. Yes,
sir. Twelve of them were from
agents, and the 200 were from
actors out Of work."
A strange little feller, this Billy
Rose. I'm sold on him COM
pletely, and have been for years.
And all this in spite of the fact
that the wiseacres still say it's
all luck.
Maybe they're right. But if
they are, then luck and genius
go hand in hand.

Club Michel Has
Elaborate Revue
On Roof

A new idea in roof garden en-
tertainment has been inaugurated
at the Club Michel Roof with
the presentation of a complete

Anita and Emanuel, an interna-

past five years, and Kathryn
Kaye, denure little singer from
the Central Park Casino in New
York. This is the third week for
the dance team and Miss Kaye,
both having been held over by
popular demand.
With the engagement of Frank
Small's Broadway Cocktails" q
revue within itself, to assist the
featured artists, the popular roof
garden has been transformed lit
orally into an open-air cabaret,
one of the favorite wining and
dining spots in the city, where
dinner patrons can remain the en-.
tire evening, to be entertained
or to dance, without additional
cover charge.
There are, besides three diStinc.
tive chorus numbers done by the
chorus in which are included,
Bring On the Girls"; a fan
dance that all Washington is
talking about, and "Hi-Hat Strut"
three featured artists in Mr..
Small's revue. They include Edna
Murphy, petite toe dancer, who
specializes in a jazz toe dance and
an Indian fantasie that has met
with great approval from the
guests during the week; Emily

ciated with Schubert musical com.
