Bill Strickland's first anniver-
sary of continuous service at the
Lotus Restaurant must have been
an incentive for Manager Lam to
do better things. Because the
floor show this week, entitled
"Lenora's Debs." comprising Is
people, is the largest revue that
has ever appeared in this popular
dine-dancery.
Dave London, of musical comedy
fame, is acting as master of cere-
monies. Besides his usual routine,
he sings several of the higher type
of songs with much success. The
comedy adagio team of Newton,
Kramer, and Pauline are proving
to be quite a sensation with their
unusual Russian steps. Another
dance team of the modernistic
type, Baker and Owen, have been
receiving more than their share
of the applause.
Lenora has apparently spared
no effort in choosing her debs with
regard to beauty. The costuming
is excellent and elaborate, which
adds much to the revue. The girls
in the chorus, Odette Borde, Vera
Hayes, Boots Gregory, Irene Lee,
Lucille Renee, Diane Holmes and
Mitzi Brooks, also do speciality acts

New Talent at
Club Michel

Variety entertainment, in keep
ing with the spiSt under which
the real night club is conducted,
is the watch word of Director
Walter Won Herbulis, genial i'm
presario of the Club Michel, at
Thomas Circle.
Despit, the fact that he has
kept over the dance team of CraW-
ford and CaSkey, who have ap-
peared here so many times that
they have gained the right to be
called Washington's most popular
dancers, he has offered a current
of changing faces in his floor
show, presented nightly at 10 and
l a. m.
For the coming week he has
engaged Mural Parker a little
singer who made her debut Thurs
day night in Washington, offer
ing the kind of song that gained
her a name in the theatrical
world.
More than frequently, too, there
are impromptu appearances of
artists visiting the club. Last
week, Jack Beekmann, master of
ceremonies for the Thomas Circle
Club, presented Carl Addison, ra-
dio singer who has just returned
from vacationing on the West
Coast.

Gay Doings In

Ernestine Gardner and Fenton

an enviable popularity at the Will

John Slaughter features these
two entertainers with his bamboo

special vote of thanks for his Sc

girl singer who knows how to do
things with her voice that brings
the patrons back again and again

Johns protege, Fenton Froom, is

Honors of the week go to Paul
Dawson. who plays his saxaphone
in excellent manner for the John
Slaughter rhythms. He is that
freshly scrubbed looking young
man who will consider you a
friend for life if you ask him to
do a flute solo. And when he
does they are we'll worth hearing.

Russian
Cafe Looms

Washingtonians who like their
food Russian, are looking forward
to the opening, on November %,
Of a unique Russian restaurant
and bazaar to be known as THE
Russian Bear"
Max Nemiroff, who for years
successfully operated the Russian
Kretchma, New York, has rented
the former Thomas Bell Sweeney
house in the 1900 block Connecti-
cut Ave. The house, will of course,
be entirely redecorated la Russia.
The entire personnel will be
Russian including Volodia Reben-
koff, famous Russian chef, wait
resses in peasant costume, a cos.
sack at the door and Balalika,
or stringed gypsy orchestra.
The restaurant will be open
for luncheon, tea and dinner.
Parties of six will have a real
Russian samovar on the table
during tea time, Mr.. Nemiroff
says, and those who prefer more
stimulating beverages can order
vodka. Not the kind heretofore
known as vodka, but the real
thing imported directly from
Russia.
Mr.. Nemiroff feels that Wash
ingtonians will patronize a restau-
rant that furnishes excellent food
and efficient service, and he
promises to have both. In the
strict sense of the word, The
Russian Bear will not be night
club. There will be no floor
show, no master of ceremonies.
But there will be a decided
atmosphere of Old Russia. log

and wild gypsy music reminis-

extra length with the orchestra
situated at one end in a specially

PWA AND GRADE CROSSINGS

The United States Conference of Mayors has
recommended, as part of government relief pro-
gram for the winter, that funds be allocated oy
PWA to be spent in removing railway grade cross
lngs in eastern states where unemployment is said
to be most acute. In those states there are 26694
surface crossings each of which is a menace to
motorists and pedestrians. 1t is held that states
and railroads haven't the money to continue the
removal of these crossings and that PWA funds 10
relieve unemployment could not be used to better
purpose.
Railroads would welcome this use of public
funds. They have seen the government spend APP
proxmately two and one-quarter. billions on high
way building since 1917 and the result has been
that traffic has been diverted to highway carriers
They quite logically feel that it is time for some
favOrs to be thrown their way and the removal o.
grade crossings would prevent many accidents and
lawsuits. They contend that the greatest benefit
from such expenditures, next to that given the
unemployed would be the protection of motorists
and pedestrians since deaths at these crossings &C
count for considerable number of lives lost in
accidents of the highways -Spartanbu1g Herald
