.Heigh-Ho Has
New Show

Pete was right. He maintained
that the patrons of Heigh-Ho Club
would enjoy something a bit diff
ferent in the way OF entertain
ment and, according to the recep-
ton given Maxine and Archie
Hawk during the past week, the
guests are more than pleased with
these two young artists.
In consequence, they are being
held for second Seven-day period.
OF course, Maxine will sing an
entirely new repertoire of tunes
and Archie Hawk will present a
different program Of dance rou-
tines.
Maxine, incidentally, while she
is one Of the youngest songstresSes
ever to come to Washington, has
had number of interesting en-.
gagements. She appeared on the
radio with Phil Spitalny for sew
eral weeks, played in two movie
shorts" with him and was a fea-
tured soloiSt on the Columbia
chain for 20 weeks.
Archie is well-known to Wash
ington theater audiences. He first
scored in the Fox stage produc-
ton of Going Native" occupying
a 10-minute spot on the bill and
filling it very. very nicely. His
training has included a session
under the tutelage of Benny Davis
and many lessons with New York
dancers.

mental accompaniment add to the
enjoyment Of the luncheon. the
cocktail hour, or after-theater sup
per. These four entertainers, who
were with the 4 Marx Brothers
in Animal Crackers" and with
Dave Appalon in his stage revue,
enter into the spirit of the occa'

and refreshing.
Two of the featured stars are
Glicerio Serna, who sings songs
in seven languages as you like to
hear them, and Tony Avila, who
is known as the Filipino Cab

Their ability to put themselves
across, combined with their trou-

ballads, rendered in an intimate
and charming manner.

RESERVE BANKS
DENY CURB
ONLOANS
BY ROBERT S. THORNBURGH
International News Service

Criticism of the Federal Re-
serve banks for delay in making
industrial loans was met by Of
ficials of the Administration to-
day with the statement that
credit extensions were being made
on the basis of the law requiring
that adequate collateral be posted.
A. P. Giannini, picturesque fig
ure in the banking world and
head of the Bank of America of
California, aSsailed alleged ultra
conservative policies Of the re-
serve banks, and felt they were
failing to make the extensions
to small industry required by the
law.
The statute authorizes the Fed
eral Reserve banks to loan ap-
proximately 280 million dollars to
small industry on the basis of
adequate collateral. It was
claimed by Mr.. Giannini that at
the Federal Reserve Bank of San
Francisco only a small percent
age of the loan applications were
granted.
Officials pointed out about $780,
100000 in loans has been author
lied by the Reserve banks and
actual credit extension have
amounted to around $6,0O0,000.
Some officials felt that where
a borrower could qualify for a
loan at a Federal Reserve bank
he could obtain the accommoda-
ton at a commercial bank. The
Reserve institutions have no de-
sire to compete with the CONNER
cial banks and will not make
loans where credit accommoda-
tions may be received from other
sources.
