show business, forlorn and empty
member of two of the commercial
stages most sedulous operatives
David Belasco and Elmer Rice.
Since this Is an era Of tolerance,
self-sacriflce and mediation, some
thing should be done to persuade Mr..
Rice to reconsider his adieus. He is
too valuable a Snowman to be lost
to entertainment. ANY season in
which his works do not appear is
made conspicuous by their absence,
and is therefore less exciting than
it ought to be. Let us, the more
intelligent Of the theatergoers, forgive
and forget his messy Judgment Day"
and petition him to present as his
valedictory his unproduced play, Not
for Children" which, he says, is a
thoughtful satire on the theater. Mr.
Rice should be permitted to do it
without interference from the re-
viewers. promise him that II he
will postpone his exit long enough
to display mot for Children" I shall
decline his invitation to enjoy it, and
pray for its commercial and esthetic
prosperity. Although not an official
spokesman for my colleagues of the
New York daily press, I feel safe in
suggesting that all of them will join
me in a pact whose provisions will
insure Mr.. Rice against our attend
ance hereafter, and upon his first
nights. That obstacle having been re-
moved from his career Of devotion
to the thoughtful theater, pray
that he will carry on, unhampered
by the dramas reporters, reviewers
and snipe-shooters.

TOUR great dramatic characters
- will walk the stage of the Ma
tional Theater the week be-
ginning tomorrow night in the
person of Walter Hampden:
Suave and willy Cardinal Richelieu;
sensitive, emotional, introspective
Hamlet; overambitious, bloody and
remorse-ridden Macbeth, and treach-
erous, crook-backed King Richard III.
1t has been years since all of these
glittering figures out Of the golden age
of English drama have been seen in
Washington in a single week, or, for
that matter, in a single season.
1t is only when Walter Hampden
comes along that these famous char
acters can be seen, for he alone is row
keeping them alive in the American
theater. This is a splendid oppor-
tunity for the young to make, and the
old to renew, their acquaintance.

crlticse when the Administra ton de-

Now then, to my mind, a resolution Of

inappropriate and not doing the honor

Revue Held Over
At Cotton Club

This weeks floor presentation
at the Cotton Club is probably
the best produced this season for
that night club. Wade and Wade,
the sensational dance team that
has won many friends at this,
one of the most colorful of local
late,spots, are the producers.
With the thought that many
would be night-clubbing st. Pat
rick's night, the management of
the Cotton Club held their show
intact, adding to the already
large and varied list of stars.
Babe Wallace is one of the
finest night club performers and
master of ceremonies ever to be
obtained by the local Cotton
Club. The floor show also in
cludes Vivienne Baber, and Billy
Holiday, torch singer.
And last but not least, Tommy
Myles' orchestra brings forth
sweet music in the true Harlem
fashion.
Two floor shows are presented
nightly at 1880 and 2:30, both
entirely different.

Troika Pres ents
Varied Bill

The delightfully."- different at
mosphere Of the Russian Troika
is the reason Washingtonians are
flocking to this continental res
taurant and night club.
In addition there Is the
Troika'S floor show featuring
such genuine artists as Mischa
Markoff, Serge Abagoff and Anna
Sablukova.
Abagoff, Russian dancer who is
now in his third week in Wash.
ington, has just been booked to
fill long engagement at the ex-
elusive Waldorf Astoria Hotel in
New York. He will remain in
Washington one more week be-
fore returning to fill his new con
tract.
A charming mezzo-Soprano,
Anna Sablukova's offerings reveal
the qualities which brought her
fame in the Moscow Art Theater.
The Washington times., 1934-03-17
There will also be concert music.
The appeal of the room is ad-
dressed to both old and young.
Brooke Johns Plans

That gentleman farmer from
Norbeck, Brooke Johns, who has
been supper club favorite as a
floor headliner, a Ziegfeld "Fol-
lies" star and an emcee of deluxe
motion picture theaters from coast
to coast, is "rarin" to give Wash
ington a swanky night club.
In show business they say
Brooke, besides boasting a real
Theodore Roosevelt family, has a
real "pile of cocoanuts," the result
of prudent living and careful in
vestments.
At any rate, he has been scan
ming the supper club field in
Washington and is listed as being
among those after the Edward B.
Mclean mansion on I Street.
Meyer Davis looked over this
palace of past magnificences some
weeks ago and decided it would
take a piece of Rockefeller for
tune to accomplish the necessary
remodeling.
The Mclean m ansion has
enough area to provide Washing
tons most mammoth gay spot.
Mentioned as partner in the
Brooke Johns enterprise is Clyde
Asher, a movie magnate with
plenty of what it takes to put
such a spot over on the pros
perity books.
The Washington times., 1934-03-17

and the John Slaughter group
has been providing the most
enhancing strains.
The Slaughter concert en-
Semble is heard at luncheon and
dinner in the crystal room of the
hotel.
Heigh-Ho Pianos
Piano playing has been de-
veloped into a most beguiling and
persuasive art at the Heigh-Ho.
For instance the other night, Don
Shook, who doubles on the saxo-
phone presided over the keys
while Burrus Williams and Marty
Rubin were entertaining at Mrs.
Alvin T. Hert's Massachusetts,
Avenue party.
In informal moment at Heigh-
Ho you may hear the sweetest
harmonics and rapturouS chords
extracted from the instrument by
masters of "ear" playing. Imean
those artists whose sense of
rhythm and melody is not re-
6tricted by written notes. Best
OF these is Maestro Pete MaciaS,
who can not only solo but in the
early morning hours is wont to
team up with Burrus Williams in
1mpromptu programs of two
piano music.
If you're lucky you may also
catch Wilson Satterfield who can
be coaxed into fascinating med

SIa lighter s Band
Willard Feature

Life is stirring, bubbling, and
gyrating genially in the repeal
mood in the Bamboo Room at
the Willard. John Slaughter's
lively lifting Willard Orchestra
supplies captivating rhythms for
the thirsting throng daily in this
South Sea slippery.
While nibbling a canape, con-
quering a caviar toastlette, and
imbibing a cooling concoction
from a tall or short glass, the
illusion of summering in a West
Indies setting is deftly created
by the Bamboo Room.
AS an afternoon or evening
meeting and eating place, the
Willard is rejuvenated in its
time -honored position Of social
preference. One sits comfortably
in ones bamboo chair with re-
Election spread upon the bamboo
coffee table.
From moon on" the Bamboo
Room at the Willard is replete
with refreshment Of a repeal ma

setting, enlivened by John

Heish-Ho Trio
Now in Its
Fifth Week

Those Heigh.Ho Girls, who take
their name from the popular noe
turnal rendezvous at Connecticut
Avenue and Q Street, have
knocked another tradition IF night
club life into the well-known
cooked hat. 1t used to be accepted
by all that those people who go
places at night would not watch
any act after the second week.
This trio of close-harmony singers
are entering their fifth week at
Pete Macias' establishment and
going strong.
Patrons now call for more"
regardless of the encores offered
during the midnight entertain
ment presentation, or generally
specify a particular favorite for
the girls to sing.
Of course, when looking around
for longevity records, there is
Marty Rubin, an original member
Of the Macias band that has been
playing together for a total OF
some 107 weeks. 1t would require
a rare statistical genius to COM
pute how many songs Marty has
sung in that period. Then again.
maybe there are not enough nur
merals to figure that one out.
With the installation Of an elab-
crate inner club" telephone sys-
tenn that will permit patrons Of
the Heigh-Ho Taproom to ring up
friends at distant tables if so in
clined, speculation has it that
Pete might next turn to some
"stop" and "go" devices to hail
legal openings and closings Of the
bar around the weekend. On
Sunday evenings, for instance.
wines and beers may be sold until
midnight and liquors from mid
night until 2 a. m. The club for

MayfIower Prepares

Easter Monday has been Sc

the Mayflower Lounge; that new
$4,000 room of the Hotel May
flower, dedicated to continental
informality in dining.
It would have been possible to
throw open the doors for cocktail
or supper diversion as early as
Wednesday of next week, but
Manager r. L. Polio decided to
wait until the conclusion of the
Lenten season. Probably never
before has an enterprise of this
character waited so long after the
departure of painters, workmen
and all their helpers.
While complete details concern
ing the decoration and entertain
ment to be offered are not yet
available, it is known that the
Mayflower Lounge will have a
different appeal from any other
restaurant in the Capital. It will
be vaguely suggestive Of the Cen
tral Park Casino and the Ritz Bar
in Paris.
While reflecting classic influ-
ences in design, the Mayflower
Lounge is intended to- serve a
modern spirit in dining and
