Native Son

At Child's Casa Rita, it's
Jimmy Santmyer and his broad
casting orchestra who supply the
rythmic melodies you enjoy.
Jimmy is native son and one
of the best known-and liked
musicians in Washington.
He started playing piano when
five years old and when he was
a few years older, started giving
concerts in public. Natural abil-
ity and study combined to make
him master of his instrument,
and it was a short step to pro-
fessional engagements.
At Is Jimmy entered the dance
game and he has been at it ever
since, playing at one time or
another, practically all the saxes
and hotels in Washington. In
addition, he has worked smart
clubs in Florida under notable
leaders.
For two seasons he was engaged
in hotels in Palm Beach and Holly
wood, returning to Washington in
the summer to play.
Jimmy has been associated with
the John Slaughter unit for the
past seven years--a tribute to his
popularity and ability.
Since July, when this maestro
and his boys went into the Casa
Rita, their popularity has been
rapidly increased. Broadcasts via
N.B.C. four times a week, the band
has built itself one of the best fol-
lowings to be found in Washing.

Many surprises have been

Since then, Miss Sid has been

wherever she has appeared.

Fun at
The Ai-Hat

In keeping with its atmosphere
of informality, the Ambassador
Hotels Hi-Hat Cafe is offering in
a quiet manner, devoid of prior
ballyhoo, impromptu entertain
ment furnished by guest stars Of
local theaters. Manager Frank
McNey introduced his first "sur-
prise" program this week, much to
the enjoyment of his large Glen
tele.
Whenever their engagements
permit visiting actors and actresses
will appear at the popular Four
teenth and K Streets cocktail
lounge in songs, recitationS and
general funmaking. The we'll
known Westchester Hill Billies-
Pappy, Ezra, Zeke and Elton-of
Warmers Earle, were first to con-
tribute to the innovation the other
night, while following them closely
came lovely Betty Keane from
Loew's Fox. Incidentally, Miss
Keane demonstrated her flare for
comedy which has won her a Hol-
lywood movie contract, soon to
take effect.
Added to the singing and play
ing of Manuel Bofills and his Fill
pinos. Hi-Hat'S new entertainment
policy insures a full measure of
diverting amusement with ones
libationary pursuits.

sonable chap with the soothing

The Gould Sisters

If you drop in at the Lotus
tonight your eyes will feast on
many delicious things in the en-
tertainment line. Especially nice
are the Gould Sisters, Dorothy
and Betty, who do clever song
and dance numbers. Paul Ash,
well-known maestro, gave the
girls their start out in Chicago.
Since then they have spread joy
all over the country, especially
on the stage.
The girls started out in different
fields, Betty tSok up dancing and
Dot the piano. It was not until a
little while later that Dorothy was
persuaded to give up a musical
career to join her sister. The per
suading was done by a booking
manager who saw Dot win a beauty
contest in a Chicago theater. And
here they are.
