BABY QUAIL CAMOUFLAGE

MARSHFIELD, Mass, U.P)-The
baby quail can disappear, perhaps,
faster than any other bird in the
woods, according to Lysander B.
Sherman, head of the state game
farm here. He said that the baby
bird is about the size and color of
a walnut. When it is in danger it
takes a dry leaf in its beak, rolls
on its back, and adjusts the leaf SO
that it covers itself completely.

Hangar Gay In
New Dress

The Hangar Club, the merry
caravanserie of Beaming Bill
Levy's, over on the left bank of
the Potomac, had its face lifted
last week, and tonight all Wash
ington will be on hand to see
the result.
Reopening tonight at $50 after
q week of frenzied redecorating
activities, the Hangar Orchestra
tootleS Annie Laurie, Hangar en-
tertainers go into their dance,
and thousands cheer, or some
thing.
In fact, tonight at the Hangar,
according to Beaming Bill and
his partner-brother, Bernie, there
will be goings on such as will
make you and you and you gasp
and, probably, swallow your gum
IN utter amazement.
Nobody really knows yet just
what has happened over there un-
der the famous decorator, Joe
King, other than that nothing
has been left as was and that
aviation has been used as a motif
for the wierdest beautifying op-
Grafton ever conceived and exc
cuted east of the moon.
And then there will be a COM
plete new Hangar show, presented
twice, with an entire new cast,
with the exception of Maurice
Tapps, the comic master of cere-
monies whom nobody would hear
of seeing for the last time.

however, will not begin until

At the present time, Grace

Marian Lee, sensational acrobatic

Big Floor Show
Is Now At
Lotus

The Lotus Restaurant is taking
on a very festive and gay atmoS-
phere in accordance with the holi-
days. Bill Strickland and his or
chestra, assisted by Lew Davie, AL
Norton and Judy Ellington sing
ing the vocals, are right in the
midst of this CHEEKY atmosphere
as the back drop on the orchestra
stand portrays real winter scene
with holly and everything.
The floor show this week is
headed by Countess Ida Santelli,
lyric soprano, who is making
great hit. Next on the list is the
splendid dance team of Diane and
Pierre, who do a modernistic
adagio that is very impressive.
Harry Bernie, who is said to
be Hal LeRoy'S greatest rival, has
been making a great hit with his
particular style of dancing. The
Miller Sisters do a Harlemania
number and a double acrobatic
dance.
And then there is the very at
tractive line of girls which are
personally trained by Mis- Lenora.
They put on a beautiful fan dance
in addition to a soft shoe tap and
buck. Several Of the young ladies
of the ensemble also do speciality
numbers that are pleasing the
crowds.

Armand de Faure, concert
pianist and composer, appearing
nightly at the Casino Russo, Con
necticut and r, gave his first con.
cert at the advanced age of 8.
He received his musical educa-

in 1914, M. de Faure, who was ap.
pearing in concert at KEW, joined
the Russian army as a lieutenant

They refused to let him give up
his music, however, and he gave
concerts on the Rumanian front,
flying his own plane from Odessa
to Bucharest.
After the war he appeared in
recitalS in Paris, London and Ber-
lin and for awhile was connected
with the Paris Symphony Orches-
ira.

The Cotton Club is still adding
talented performers to an already
star-Studded revue. This week the
new addition is none other than
Dusty Fletcher, reputed to be one
of the best comedians in the game.
AS a matter of fact he is good
enough to have had equal billing
with Duke Ellington recently in a
Chicago theater.
Amy Spencer is still thrilling the
crowds with her daring fan dance
which has caused more comment
than anything seen in a Wash
ington night club in sometime.
Sally Gooding, cannot sing enough
in the truly Ethel Waters style to
send the customers home satisfied.
And Chuck and Chuckles dancing
is-well go and see for yourself.
In fact the whole entertainment

SUPPER CLUB JOTTINGS
River Bend Is
Very Rustic
Place

River Bend is so-named, because
it is located on the banks Of the
broad Potomac where it makes a
graceful turn before reaching Mt.
Vernon. On the opposite shore
may be seen the rolling hills Of
southern Maryland. River Bend
is situated on a tract Of acreage
that was once part Of the estate
of Mt. Vernon. Gen. George Wash
ington once called it River Farm.
The river at this point is estimated
to be about one and one half miles
wide. The architecture and con-
struction is somewhat out OF the
ordinary, being a replica of the
old barns built back in the Blue
Ridge Mountains. Guy Zepp Is
designer and builder and was born
on Cedar Greek across the noun
tains from Strasburg. He became
familiar with log construction In
his early life.
All the logs used in the con.
struction of River Bend were cut
from the immediate property,
some being 40 feet long and one
half foot thick and weighing a ton
apiece. Much has been said about
the fireplace which boasts OF an
opening eight feet wide and four
and one half feet high and three
feet deep. Four large flues lead up
from the fireplace. About 5000
bricks were used in its construc-
ton.
The large iron crane and and.
irons were designed by Mr.. zepp
and forged in a local blacksmith
shop. The old kettle, pots and
Dutch oven were procured back In
the Blue Ridge Mountains.
River Bend is and has been
managed since its inception by
Robert M. Gililland. formerly of
st. Louis who has been in Wash.
ington for a number of years and
has a wide acquaintance among
the business, sporting and night
club circles. He has taken an &C
tive part in shaping the policies
in connection with the operation
Of the resort.

NEIGHBORHOOD PROGRAMS
Dance Team At
Heigh-Ho Is
Held Over

One Of the most successful
eeams and one of the most
popular, too, ever to appear at
He1gh-Ho Club is that of LiSbeth
Higgins and Charles Conklin, cur.
rently dancing at the Connecticut
Avenue supper spot.
Their carioca brings braves
from the guests; their waltzes
cause cheers; their musical
comedy numbers, their Harlem
strut, their tangoeS, all meet with
acclaim. Indeed, as one lady
patron said the other night,
They can do anything"
For which reason, they will be
held over for a second weeks
engagement, beginning Monday.
OF course, their program and
dance routines will be different
from this weeks.
New Years Eve plans at the
club promise a very gay and
festive party. Every guest will
receive a favor-juSt what, we
can't say, but it will be really
worthwhile-a real souvenir of a
fine evening. Then, at midnight,
there will be lots of celebration,
with Pete Macias leading the
welcoming committee for 1885.
An old-fashioned breakfast will
also be served.
Ramon, of course, is taking
the reservations for that evening,
aS well as next week, when the
holiday crowds promise to over.
flow Heigh.Ho every night. At
least, present indications point
to that occurrence.

Double Xmas Is
Gay Plan at
Troika

They are lucky people up al
the Club Troika. They have two
Christmases.
Christmas, it seems, doesn't fall
on Christmas in that mysterious
land of snow and flowing boards
for a reason that no Russian
seem able to tell. Such being the
case, Club Troika, that cont
mental cabaret up on Connecticut
Avenue, will celebrate Christmas
on the twenty-fifth like all good
Americans, and then make you
like it so much that you retrace
your footsteps a fortnight later
and celebrate all over again. A
good excuse for you to prolong
Your holidays, and excellent bust
ness for Club TToika.
And for you VINO have yet to OBJ
serve the gay yuie in the tradi.
tional old Russian manner, a sur.
prise awaits. FJr it was Russia
that made Christmas famous, with
their roast young sucking pigs
and their goose holodnoi, and
their hors d'oeuvres that look like
tiny cathedrals, and. most of all,
their famous music. And this is
just how they're going to pass the
glad day up at Club Troika.
Of course, for you, for whom
nothing will do on Christmas but
the American roast turkey, Troika
will provide just that, with all the
Yankee trimmings. But for the
blase traveller and the experiment.
tahst, Troika will revive old
Christmas customs and dishes
that will take you back to the
days of the Kremlin in all its
splendor.
For entertainment on this day
Maestro Matt Windsor, Troika i'm.
presario and general genius, has
brought to town a revue that
leaves nothing to the imagina-
ton. Still featuring Nadia. the
Gypsy contralto, who has become
so popular with Troika guests, and
with Gregory Dniestroff, Cossak
master of ceremonies. the show
will feature extra-special added
attractions of all types.
Starting with dinner on Christ.
mas eve, the Troika'S celebrations
will continue until the last merry.
maker Wearies and leaves, no mat
ter when that may be. Floor
shows will be presented continu-
ously from $3.50 on, with dancing
to the music of Matt'S musical
mob between times, and surprise
features every hour until dawn.

In
Gay Holiday
Mood

The reservation department Of
the Mayflower is looking a trifle
worn and haggard these days.
Too much work, they give as the
reason for their appearance. And
the added labor is attributed to
the countless requests which are
arriving daily for tables in the
lounge on New Years Eve.
From all accounts, it's going
to be a party worth making
reservations for far in advance.
The Mayflower officials have
held countless conferences during
the past few weeks, and from
them have evolved loads of new
ideas for celebrating the birth
of 1885.
The first aim was to limit the
affair in size. Too many people
and over-crowded rooms would,
Manager R. L. Polio wisely de-
cided, detract from the enjoy
ment of the guests. So. only
the limited capacity of the lounge
itself will be filled, then no one
else will be admitted. There will
be no overflow crowds in other
spots, away from the fun.
Another new idea is the serv-
ing of a Continentalstyle supper
to the guests. 1t will be a real
meal, prepared by the famous
chefs of the hotel.
Sidney's orchestra on that gala
night will play way beyond their
usual hour. They are arranging
a large group of music with
which to fittingly herald the
coming of the New Year.
